2008 winner Nicola Bowler is an associate professor of both materials science and engineering, and electrical and computer engineering, associated with the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation at Iowa State University. Her affiliation with the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation goes back to 1999, when she was a postdoctoral research associate, after which she served as an associate scientist at the Center from 2001 to 2006. She received her B.S. in physics in 1990 from the University of Nottingham, England and her Ph.D., also in physics, in 1994 from the University of Surrey, England. Bowler did postgraduate work in electromagnetism at the University of Surrey from 1995 to 1998, after which she served as senior scientist at the Defence Evaluation Research Agency in Farnborough, England. An ASNT member, Bowler is also a member of the Standing Committee of the International Workshop on Electromagnetic NDE, which she served as co-chair in 2004. She was the recipient of a 2005 Measurement Science and Technology Outstanding Paper Award in the sensors and sensing systems category.

2008 winner John Rajadas is an associate professor in the Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Technology Department at Arizona State University, in which capacity he has served since 2000. He has been connected to Arizona State since 1994, when he joined the University as a member of the research faculty. He later served as an assistant professor from 1996 to 2000. Prior to that, Rajadas worked for NASA Ames Research Center as a senior research scientist from 1991 to 1994 and for NASA Langley Research Center as a research scientist from 1986 to 1991. He received his bachelor's degree in aeronautical engineering in 1979 from the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras, India and his M.S. and Ph.D., in aerospace engineering, in 1984 from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. Rajadas is a member of AHS, ASEE and SAE, and is a senior member and associate fellow of AIAA.

2008 winner Sangram Redkar is an assistant professor in the Engineering Technology (formerly Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Technology) Department at Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus, where he has been affiliated since 2007. Prior to joining Arizona State, Redkar worked for Archangel Systems, Inc., in Auburn, Alabama, as an engineer. He received his bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering in 1999 from the University of Mumbai, his M.S. in mechanical engineering design from the Indian Institute of Technology in 2001 and his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering in 2005 from Auburn University. Redkar is a member of ASME, and serves as a reviewer for Springer Publishing, the ASME Journal of Computational and Nonlinear Dynamics, Journal of Vibration and Acoustics, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Communications in Nonlinear Science. He has published numerous articles in the area of nonlinear dynamics, inertial navigation, and sensing and engineering education navigation, and sensing and engineering education.
