56 Gustav Born, The William Harvey Research Institute, London, United Kingdom Paul Corkum, National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa, Canada Knut Urban Institut für Festkörperphysik Jülich, Germany Max Born Short biographies of the authors Gustav Victor Rudolf Born was born in Göttingen in 1921 as the son of Max Born (Nobel laureate in Physics 1954). In 1933 the Born family was forced to leave Germany and settled in Britain. Gustav Born obtained his medical degree at Edinburgh University and his research doctorate in Oxford. During his long and distinguished academic career, Born has held chairs of pharmacology at the Royal College of Surgeons, at Cambridge University, and at King's College London. At present he is Research Professor at the William Harvey Research Institute in London. Born has made outstanding contributions to knowledge of the pathophysiology of the circulation, particularly of haemostasis, thrombosis and atherogenesis. His many honours include the Fellowship and the Royal Medal of the Royal Society and nine honorary doctorates. Göttingen University awarded him the Albrecht von Haller Medal. Married to the physician Faith Born, Gustav Born has five children and nine grandchildren. Paul Corkum was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. He graduated from Lehigh University (USA) in 1972 with a Ph. D. in theoretical physics. In 1973 he joined the staff of the National Research Council of Canada. At NRC he concentrated first on laser technology and then on using intense laser pulses to study and control matter. Dr. Corkum is best known for introducing many of the concepts in strong field atomic and molecular science and then confirming them experimentally. Dr. Corkum is the program leader of the Atomic, Molecular and Optical Science Group at NRC. He is a member of the Royal Societies of London and of Canada. Among his awards are the Canadian Association of Physicists’ gold medal for lifetime achievement in Physics (1996), the Royal Society of Canada’s Tory award (2003), the Optical Society’s Charles Townes award (2005) and the IEEE’s Quantum electronics award (2005). He will receive the American Physical Society’s Arthur L Schawlow prize in 2006. Knut Wolf Urban was born in Stuttgart in 1941. He studied physics at the Technical University of Stuttgart where he also got his doctor degree in natural sciences. Stations of his research career were the Max-Planck-Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart and the Section de Recherche de Metallurgie Physique in Saclay, France. In 1984 he became a Professor in Materials Science at the University of Erlangen. Since 1987 he holds a Chair for Experimental Physics at RWTH Aachen University. In the same year he founded the Institute for Microstructure Research at the Research Centre Jülich. Urban’s research interests range from applied superconductivity and complex metallic alloys to oxides. In 2003 he founded the Ernst Ruska Centre as Germany’s first user centre in ultra high resolution electron microscopy employing aberration-corrected electron optics, a field which Urban and his colleagues have pioneered since 1991. Urban held a number of honorary posts in German science. He was Physics Chairman of the renowned Gesellschaft Deutscher Naturforscher und Ärzte. Currently he is President of the German Physical Society.
