| Michal C. Moore – Senior Fellow, ISEEE Dr. Moore is the former Chief Economist at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden Colorado, where he led a research team engaged in examining over-the-horizon issues for the Department of Energy and developing new methods for cross-cutting analysis. He is an economist and former regulator in the energy industry in California. Dr. Moore received his Bachelor of Science in Geology at Humboldt State University and a Master of Science from the Ecology Institute at the University of California at Davis in Land Economics. He obtained a PhD from the University of Cambridge in England in Economics where he is a member of Darwin College. He is a former Commissioner with the California Energy Commission, where he held the designated Economist position. In that role he oversaw market structure issues, pricing of electricity and natural gas and data collection for the Commission as presiding member of the Electricity and Natural Gas Committee. He directed the $2B US program to maintain and expand the renewable energy industry in the state and presided over many complex siting cases for new fossil fired generation. Dr. Moore is an active researcher in the areas of urban open space and agricultural land conversion, local government fiscal impacts and the structure and rules of energy markets. He is an accomplished public speaker and participates in a wide variety of public forums ranging from energy and fiscal policy to land use.

Sheldon H. Roth - Senior Fellow, ISEEE; Professor, Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, and Department of Anaesthesia; Director, Division of Toxicology Dr. Roth, a Senior Fellow with ISEEE, is director of the Environmental Research Centre at the U of C. His research focuses on two major projects: the neuropharmacology of general anaesthetic agents and the neurotoxicology of environmental pollutants such as hydrogen sulphide. Both projects use the in vivo and in vitro hippocampal (brain) preparation as model systems. In the whole-animal preparation, his research involves recording theta activity from the hippocampal formation and relating changes in hippocampal EEG to specific behavioural responses. Parallel studies are performed using extracellular and intracellular electrophysiological recording in the hippocampal slice preparation to study the cellular and molecular actions of general anesthetics or toxicants. These studies are designed to elucidate the specific site(s) and mechanisms of action of the test agents. In another series of studies, Dr. Roth’s research team is examining the relationship of nociception, hippocampal EEG and anesthetic concentration in order to assess whether hyperalgesia and level of anesthesia are related.
