Dr. Ryan is a mechanical engineer who began his career at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) in 1979 after spending two years as an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Pennsylvania State University. Over the past 30 years Dr. Ryan has specialized in the areas of engine, fuels and combustion technology. He has performed both basic and applied combustion research in experiments involving very basic combustion processes and sophisticated diagnostics to actual internal combustion engine systems. Much of his work has involved the application of the appropriate diagnostic techniques in experiments involving both real and simulated combustion environments. Over the course of his career at Southwest Research Institute, Dr. Ryan has managed projects for almost all of the engine OEM's, fuels and lubricants companies, and agencies of the US government. As Institute Engineer, Dr. Ryan has assumed an Institute wide responsibility in the areas of engines, fuels and combustion research. He is currently managing one Industry consortium in this area and he is responsible for management of a consulting service operated by SwRI for engine and component manufacturers from around the world. His involvement in SAE began as a student member during his graduate studies at Penn State University, presenting his first paper at the 1974 Congress. He has over 100 publications in the areas of engine, fuels and combustion research. He has been very active at both the local and national levels of SAE. He was involved in revitalizing the South Texas Section, serving as the local chairman of the Fall Fuels and Lubricants meetings in 1996 and 2001, and as chairman of the Section from 2001-2002. He has also been involved in the Fuels and Lubricant Activity, serving as Vice Chair for Combustion, and as Chair of the Activity from 1998-2000. He has served on the Land and Sea Group and is the recent past Chair. He is currently a Director on the SAE Board. He has served on the Membership Benefits Committee, the Strategic Planning Committee of the EMB, the Horning Award Committee, the Fellows Committee, and the Springer Award Committee. Dr. Ryan has served on the Board and as president of his homeowners association, and on the school board of his church. He also has several interests, including woodworking, golf, racket ball, water skiing, and motorcycling.

Kenneth D. Rose joined CONCAWE in 2006 as the Technical Coordinator for Fuels Quality and emissions. CONCAWE is the oil industry's European association for environment, health, and safety in refining and distribution. Mr. Rose coordinates CONCAWE's task forces investigating fuel requirements for current and future vehicles. These task forces provide input to fuels specifications and investigate the fuel requirements for advanced gasoline and diesel vehicles. This work includes the properties and performance of bio-fuels, containing ethanol and various biodiesel components. Mr. Rose also works closely with affiliated industry groups and those representing CONCAWE's other technical areas, providing technical data related to Well-to-Wheels studies and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Mr. Rose is a physical chemist by training and has worked with ExxonMobil Research and Engineering since 1979. During this time, he had two previous technical assignments in the UK in analytical chemistry and fuels product quality R&D support. Before joining CONCAWE, he was responsible for managing fuels product quality support to ExxonMobil's global refineries and aviation fuels marketing activities.
Giovanni Cipolla is Diesel Advanced Engineering & Hybrids Director, GM Powertrain Europe. He has over 30 years experience in design and development of powertrains with FIAT Group where he was involved in several R&D programs, ultimately managing the Racing Engines Reserach Center. An Honorary Professor at Zwickau University in Germany, where he teaches "Advanced Propulsion Systems for Automobiles," Mr. Cipolla is a Mechanical and Automotive Engineering graduate of Politecnico di Torino.
Tim Johnson is Director - Emerging Regulations and Technologies for Corning Environmental Technologies, Corning Incorporated. Dr. Johnson is responsible for tracking emerging mobile emissions regulations and technologies, and helps develop strategic positioning via new products. He has been with Corning for 23 years, and 12 years in the current position. He is an acknowledge expert and frequent speaker on diesel emission control technology and trends. In that regard, he received the 2007 Lloyd L. Withrow Distinguished Speaker Award from SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers), and was recently awarded the Fellow membership grade by SAE.
