Biography of Hans Mellberg

Mr. Hans Mellberg received his BS in EE & CS and Engineering Physics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1975. Prior work experience includes 6 years with Amdahl Corporation (1975-1981) in Power Systems, Cooling and Acoustics and 9 years as Engineering Manager of Regulatory Affairs at Wyse Technology (1985-1994). As a co-founder and President of Experimental Physics (1979-1985) he developed an entire line of ESD products such as Contact and Air Discharge Generators, MIL-STD 883 IC testers, ESD Waveform Monitors and other high voltage custom equipment. Mr. Mellberg is now engaged in consulting on EMC, Immunity, Radiation, ESD, CE Mark and other related regulatory matters.

He has been a member of the IEEE since 1973, as well as a member of the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics), NARTE (National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers), the ESD Association and the dB society.

Biography of John E. Will

Dr. John Will is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a NARTE Certified EMC Engineer. He holds a B.A. in Physics from the State University of New York in Geneseo and a B.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Clarkson College of Technology (now Clarkson University), both received in 1983. He received an M.S. in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in Electromagnetics from Syracuse University in 1990 publishing a thesis on a study of EM field coupling into airframes. In 1996 he received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (Electromagnetics) from the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs with a dissertation on "Complex Antenna Pattern Measurements Using Infrared Imaging and Microwave Holography."

Dr. Will has recently moved to the Silicon Valley from Colorado Springs and is currently a senior EMC engineer for SUN Microsystems. Previous to SUN, Dr. Will was a principal scientist for JAYCOR (1988-1996) and for Rome Research Corporation (1981-1988) working in the DoD realm in areas such as EMP effects, High Power Microwaves (HPM) effects, systems EMC (HAVE NOTE, HERO, 461, etc.), and Ground Penetrating Radar for anti-personel and anti-tank land mine detection. He was also a co-inventor and the project lead for JAYCOR's Auto-Arrestor(tm) (Patent Pending), which is a system for use by Law Enforcement to stop fleeing vehicles. While at the University of Colorado, Dr. Will also taught graduate level courses in EMC, EM Theory and Applications, Microwave Measurements, EM Propagation and Atmospheric Effects, and Antenna Engineering.

In 1994, Dr. Will organized and founded an EMC Society Chapter in the IEEE Pikes Peak Society (Colorado Springs area). He was Chairman of this chapter from 1994 through 1996. In addition to the IEEE, Dr. Will is a member of Tau Beta Pi (Honor Society for Engineers), Eta Kappa Nu (Honor Society for Electrical Engineers), Sigma Pi Sigma (Honor Society for Physics), and the New York Academy of Sciences.
