Biographical Sketches of Workshop Speakers

Kenneth M.Baldwin, Ph.D., is a professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics in the College of Medicine at the University of California, Irvine. His laboratory research focuses on the impact of activity patterns and exercise regimens on the biochemical and physiological properties of cardiac and skeletal muscle in mammals. Of primary interest is how the effects of these various activities are translated into biochemical events that lead to alterations in protein expression in muscle. As a corollary to these experiments, Dr. Baldwin’s group, in conjunction with NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), recently sent rats on a Space Shuttle mission to study the effects of weightlessness on skeletal muscle. Recently he received the NASA Public Service Medal and the American Physiological Society Edward Adolph Award. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Iowa in exercise physiology.

Gary K.Beauchamp, Ph.D., received his B.A. in biology from Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota, in 1965 and his Ph.D. in biopsychology from the Pritzker School of Medicine of The University of Chicago in 1971. He then went to the newly established Monell Chemical Senses Center, a nonprofit, basic research institute loosely affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, as a postdoctoral fellow. He has remained at Monell since that time and is currently director of the Center. He is also an adjunct professor of anatomy in the School of Veterinary Medicine and an adjunct professor of psychology in the School of Arts and Sciences of the University of Pennsylvania. His research interests include genetics of chemosensation, development and aging of taste and smell, taste interactions, and the role of smell and taste in food and beverage choice and acceptance. During his research career, he has authored or coauthored over 250 original research papers, book chapters, and review articles. Among his awards are the Claude Pepper Award of Excellence from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), National Institutes of Health (NIH) (1990–1997) and the Outstanding Achievement in the Chemical Senses Award in 1999 from the Association for Chemoreception Sciences.

Dr. Caldwell received his Ph.D. in experimental psychology in 1984 from the University of Southern Mississippi. In 1983 he became the assistant director of the Behavioral Medicine Laboratory at Children’s Hospital National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., where he spent 3 years. Afterwards, he spent 16 years with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) conducting studies on methods of aviator status monitoring and on the effects of medications on aviator performance in specially-instrumented flight simulators and aircraft. In August 2002 he transferred to the Air Force Research Laboratory at Brooks. The focus of his research is to fully understand the effects of sleep deprivation on pilots and to develop monitoring methodologies and fatigue countermeasures for use in the operational aviation environment. Key accomplishments have included the first-ever controlled aviator flight-performance evaluations of the efficacy of dextroamphetamine and modafinil for sustaining performance and the completion of several unique protocols investigating the feasibility of real-time monitoring of aviator physiological activity in flight.

Nancy J.Wesensten, Ph.D., is a research psychologist and deputy chief of the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior, Division of Neuropsychiatry, Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), Washington, D.C. She received her Ph.D. in experimental psychology from Bowling Green State University, specializing in electroencephalographic indices of decision-making and psychophysiological responsivity to external stimuli across sleep stages. At WRAIR, her focus has been on determining fieldability of sleep-inducing agents (via evaluation of their hypnotic and amnestic effects) (in collaboration with Lorex Pharmaceuticals), and whether fieldability can be improved by amelioration of hypnotic side effects using reversal agents. More recently, she conducted studies to evaluate the efficacy and fieldability of the novel synthetic stimulant modafinil on performance and alertness during sleep deprivation (in collaboration with Cephalon, Inc.) compared with caffeine. These lines of research are aimed at determining the role of various neurotransmitter systems in sleep/wake regulation in order to produce more effective countermeasures for military use. Dr. Wesensten was a coinvestigator on a recently completed, large-scale study funded by the Federal Highway Administration in which the chronic effects of different amounts of nighttime sleep on daytime performance (including simulated driving) were evaluated. Her other research efforts include an on-going collaborative effort with NIH investigating regional cerebral blood flow changes during the various stages of sleep and wakefulness and a collaborative effort with USARIEM, which investigated hypnotic efficacy of triazolam on sleep and degradation of electroencephalographic indices of cognitive capacities at simulated high altitude.

Peter G.Weyand, Ph.D., is physiologist and biomechanist who specializes in terrestrial locomotion. His primary research focus is the relationship between skeletal muscle function, metabolic energy expenditure, and performance.

The U.S. military’s concerns about the individual combat service member’s ability to avoid performance degradation, in conjunction with the need to maintain both mental and physical capabilities in highly stressful situations, have led to and interest in developing methods by which commanders can monitor the status of the combat service members in the field. This report examines appropriate biological markers, monitoring technologies currently available and in need of development, and appropriate algorithms to interpret the data obtained in order to provide information for command decisions relative to the physiological “readiness” of each combat service member. More specifically, this report also provides responses to questions posed by the military relative to monitoring the metabolic regulation during prolonged, exhaustive efforts, where nutrition/hydration and repair mechanisms may be mismatched to intakes and rest, or where specific metabolic derangements are present.
