  Dr. James Ellenbogen is Chief Scientist for Nanotechnology and Emerging Technologies at the MITRE Corporation in McLean, Virginia, where he joined the technical staff in 1984. He founded MITRE's Nanosystems Group in 1992 and has been a leader in the field of nanotechnology for more than 25 years, especially in the development of next-generation electronic computers integrated on the nanometer scale. He has published a number of fundamental papers and patents in the area and, over the past decade, he collaborated in the realization of the world's first nanocomputers. Recently, he has been instrumental in the discovery and application of new laws of physics that provide a path to the rapid design of nanocircuits, increasing the density of energy storage in supercapacitors and in batteries, plus more rapid modeling of materials on all scales. He also has led efforts to apply nanotechnology-enabled sensors for the rapid diagnosis of debilitating diseases and to enhance food safety. Presently, he is focusing much of his efforts on enhancing the performance of supercapacitors to help enable green energy sources and improved electric vehicles. Among his other duties, he has supervised an extensive R&D program involving dozens of different R&D projects. Further, over the past 25 years, Dr. Ellenbogen has assisted the Government in planning and guiding a number of key nanotechnology and emerging technology research and development programs. In 1989, he was a co-founder of the MITRE Student Program and he continues to help coordinate that corporate program for the mentorship of high school students and college undergraduates in science, technology, engineering, and applied mathematics. Over the past thirty-plus years Dr. Ellenbogen has helped to place hundreds of students in paid summer technical positions across the MITRE Corporation. He has personally mentored more than 150 students in advanced technical projects and continues to do so.
