In addition to some of the names I came up with during our chat, let me also recommend an old classmate, whom I ran into yesterday. She's a professor of developmental economics who does work in areas as diverse as economic policy, innovation, and urban planning. Her background includes particle physics research at CERN and a stint at the UN.

Udhay -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
