	Chief Scientific Officer, Co-Founder and Director Lars Samuelson, currently Professor of Solid State Physics at Lund University, is internationally recognised for his breakthrough research on low-dimensional structures and the physics and applications made possible by these structures. In recent years, his research has been directed towards new ways for the formation of ideal one-dimensional heterostructured nanowires through self-assembly, their physical properties, and applications of semiconductor nanowires in electronics, photonics and the life-sciences. Dr. Samuelson is the director of the Nanometer Structure Consortium, started in 1988, which is today the primary center for nanoscience in Sweden. He is the scientific leader of two Strategic Research Centers funded by the Swedish Foundation of Strategic Research (SSF): one in the field of Microelectronics (2003-2008), called “Nanoscience for Future Electronic Devices”, and a Strategic Research Center called “Nanowires for emerging nanoelectronics and life-science applications”. Samuelson is also the leader of a major European R&D project called NODE (“Nanowire-based One Dimensional Electronics”), with participation by leading European electronics industries, research institutes and academic research teams. In 2002 Lars Samuelson was appointed “doubly excellent scientist” by the Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet, VR), for his research on fundamental quantum physics (by the Natural Science section of VR) and electronics and photonics (by the Engineering Science section of VR). In 2005, the Swedish Research Council identified the research effort “Nanowires for Fundamental Materials Science and Quantum Physics and for Applications in Electronics, Photonics and in Life-sciences”, headed by Lars Samuelson, as one of the top ten scientific environments of all areas of science in Sweden. Dr. Samuelson is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, FinstP, in the United Kingdom, a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (Kungl. Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien, IVA) and also a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, (Kungl. Vetenskapsakademien, KVA), which awards the Nobel Prizes in Chemistry and Physics each year. Dr. Samuelson is the author of more than 350 articles in refereed journals, and has given about 150 plenary/invited talks at international conferences and workshops. He received obtained his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics at Lund University in 1977.
	Lead Scientist and Co-Founder Prof. Lars-Erik Wernersson obtained his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics at Lund University in 1998. Besides post-doc research in Lund and in Tokyo, he worked as a director of undergraduate studies in Lund 2000-2002. During 2002-2003 he served as a visiting Associate Professor at University of Notre Dame. In 2004 he obtained a Swedish Individual Grant for the Advancement of Research Leaders for a program “Nanoelectronics at high speed and low power”. He is active in the US Device Research Conference, and in 2005 he became professor in Nanoelectronics at Lund University.
	Research Coordinator and Co-Founder Dr. Jonas Ohlsson obtained his Ph.D. in Solid State Physics at Lund University in 2001. The thesis work included nanowire growth and growth of III-V:s on Si. After a time as project leader at Lund University, where he functioned as senior researcher in the nanowire group, he joined QuNano in 2005 and is a co-founder.
	Executive Chairman G. Russell Mortenson joined QuNano in January 2006, bringing over 20 years of experience as a senior executive in technology companies developed from start-ups, many of which have been Nordic-based.  He has organized technology collaborations and joint ventures with some of the premiere companies in the world, including General Electric, Motorola, Alcatel, ABB, Mitsubishi, Siemens and others and also served as Chairman & CEO of a publicly-traded NASDAQ technology company for several years.
