  Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck (February 14, 1776 - March 16, 1858) was a prolific German botanist, physician, zoologist, and natural philosopher.
Nees von Esenbeck was born in a small village in what is now Odenwaldkreis, Germany.
Theodor Friedrich Ludwig Nees von Esenbeck (1787-1837), Christian's younger brother, was also a noted botanist and pharmacologist who contributed particularly to the systematic study of the medicinal uses of plants.

The family of NEES earthquake engineering researchers at the University of Oklahoma extends its deepest sympathies to the victims of the October 2005 Kashmir earthquake.
NEES is a network of earthquake engineering research facilities integrated into a collaborative fabric via the novel application of appropriate information technology.
This role was one of the motivating principles behind the funding of the NEES project, and the range of problems where computational simulation can serve as an equal partner to laboratory experimentation continues to grow with time.

 NEES MUST-SIM
The MUST-SIM NEES facility will stimulate new and unique approaches to experimental research to address earthquake engineering issues through a collaborative shared-use testing environment, ultimately leading to improved seismic performance of our infrastructure, reduced economic losses in natural disasters, and more reliable structures.
Moreover, the MUST-SIM NEES facility, with its state-of-the-art components, will be fully integrated with the undergraduate and graduate programs of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Therefore, the wider impacts of this NEES facility are in developing advanced and reliable criteria for upgrading the existing infrastructure systems and the design of new systems, and in educating engineers and engineering students in earthquake testing, analysis, instrumentation, visualization and ultimately, in seismic risk assessment and reduction.

In 1983 John Nees began working on his Masters in Physics at the University of Rochester, where he participated in the cooperative education program working as an Engineer in Training at United Technologies Research Center in East Hartford Connecticut and then joined the University of Rochester's Ultrafast Group at the Laboratory of Laser Energetics.
He contributed to the development of optical modulators with greater than 1000 GHz bandwidth and was among the first to use external electro-optic sampling probes to measure the internal workings of fast electronic circuits.
Nees is the director of the Ultrafast Photon Source at the Universitiy of Michigan.

 NEES @ Minnesota - What is NEES?
NEES is a nationwide network of shared-use earthquake simulation facilities designed to advance earthquake engineering research and education through collaborative experimentation.
Open access to and use of NEES research facilities and data by all elements of the earthquake engineering community, including researchers, educators, students, practitioners, and information technology experts, is a key element of this goal.
Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation, was designated by Congress to honor the late Congressman Brown (1920-1999), who was a strong supporter of federal support of earthquake engineering research, as well as of other science and technology programs.
