David Sadava

David Sadava is the Pritzker Family Foundation Professor of Biology, Emeritus
at the Keck Science Center of Claremont McKenna, Pitzer, and Scripps, three of The Claremont Colleges. In addition, he is Adjunct Professor of Cancer
Cell Biology at the City of Hope Medical Center in Duarte, California. Twice winner of the Huntoon Award for superior teaching, Dr. Sadava has taught courses on introductory biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, plant biology, and cancer biology. In addition to Life: The Science of Biology and Principles of Life, he is the author or coauthor of books on cell biology and on plants, genes, and crop biotechnology. His research has resulted in many papers coauthored with his students, on topics ranging from plant biochemistry to pharmacology of narcotic analgesics to human genetic diseases. For the past 15 years, he has investigated multi-drug resistance in human small-cell lung carcinoma cells with a view to understanding and overcoming this clinical challenge. At the City of Hope, his current work focuses on new anti-cancer agents from plants. He is the featured lecturer in “Understanding Genetics: DNA, Genes and their Real-World Applications,“ a video course for The Great Courses series.

Mats Selen

Professor Mats Selen received bachelor's degree in physics from the University of Guelph (1982), a M.Sc. in physics from Guelph (1983), and an M.A. in physics from Princeton University (1985). He received his Ph.D. in physics from Princeton (1989). He was a research associate at the Laboratory for Elementary Particle Physics (LEPP) at Cornell University from 1989-1993. He joined the Department of Physics at Illinois in 1993 as an assistant professor and, since 2001, has been a full professor. He was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2006 for his contributions to particle physics. Since arriving at Illinois, he has been a prime mover behind the massive curriculum revision of the calculus-based introductory physics courses (Physics 211-214), and he was the first lecturer in the new sequence. He created an undergraduate "discovery" course where freshmen create their own physics demonstrations, and developed the Physics Van Outreach program, in which physicists visit elementary schools to share enthusiasm for science). Professor Selen played a key role in the development of i>clicker™.

Bradley A. Shellito

Bradley A. Shellito is a geographer whose work focuses on the application of geospatial technologies. Dr. Shellito has been a professor at Youngstown State University (YSU) since 2004, and was previously a faculty member at Old Dominion University. He teaches classes in GIS, Remote Sensing, GPS, and 3D Visualization and his research interests involve using these concepts with a variety of real-world issues. He also serves as YSU’s PI in OhioView, a statewide geospatial consortium. A native of the Youngstown area, Dr. Shellito received his bachelor’s degree from YSU, his Masters from the Ohio State University, and his doctorate from Michigan State University.

Ted Shifrin

Theodore Shifrin is a Professor of Mathematics and the Associate Head of the Mathematics Department at the University of Georgia. There, he has won multiple awards for teaching, including the Lothar Tresp Outstandin g Honors Professor Award in 2002 and 2010, as well as the Honoratus Medal in 1992. Professor Shifrin was one of five receipients of the University of Georgia's 1997 Josiah Meigs Award for Excellence in Teaching, and in 2000 he was given the Southeastern MAA Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of Mathematics. In addition to Linear Algebra: A Geometric Approach, Professor Shifrin has published the textbooks Multivariable Mathematics: Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, and Manifolds and Abstract Algebra: A Geometric Approach, and he has also authored the Differential Geometry: A First Course in Curves and Surfaces, a free, online text that is widely used all over the world. His research interests and publications have focused on integral geometry and complex algebraic geometry.
