Edo Kaal has studied analytical and environmental chemistry in the Netherlands. After a career of about 10 years in the IT sector he made the life-changing decision to become an independent researcher, going back to his true interest and passion, the study of the natural environment. Over many years of work the "Structured Atom Model" principles and concepts were developed well enough to reach out to the rest of the world. Edo has presented at the EU2017, 2018, and 2019 conferences and in 2018 and 2019 in Italy at the ICMSNS workshops. Andreas Otte has a masters degree in computer science. He specializes in designing and implementing applications based on Oracle technologies for a small IT company in Paderborn, Germany. He has a lifelong passion to find and analyse fringe theories. Some of those with good internal logic, acceptable assumptions, and high explanatory capability he invested time in. His interest in chronology, catastrophism, and the Electric Universe as an example started in 2000 while stumbling upon references to the works of Immanuel Velikovsky. James Sorensen has always excelled in sciences and is lucky to have survived his childhood attempts at making explosives in his basement laboratory. In middle school while on a trip to Los Alamos laboratories, James explained to the parents the difference between Fusion and Fission, his talent developed at high school when he started to question mainstream science - quarks, relativity, black holes, the big bang ... They all seemed like assumptions based on assumptions. He decided computers and programming were more logical so he became a computer programmer. For the last 4 years James has been working with Edo Kaal on the Structured Atom Model (SAM). He created the computer program which models SAM theory. Jan Emming has a master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Delft in the Netherlands. At the University of Utrecht in the late 1960s, he managed several proposals for projects for the early European Space Organization (ESO) space initiatives in Europe. Among these were the Large Astronomical Satellite (LAS) which was ESO's effort to compete with NASA's Large Space Telescope (LST), and which ultimately developed into the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). As a systems engineer/analyst at Ball Aerospace in Boulder, Colorado, he participated in the development of dozens of scientific instruments for the earth and space sciences, e.g., the High Energy Astronomy Observatories. He worked in the 1980s as manager of technology development for the science instrument department at Ball and was responsible for identifying and developing new technology for X-ray detection and imaging, infrared sensors and systems, cryogenic electronics, and image processing techniques. This led to collaboration between Ball and those institutions that ultimately developed NASA's great observatories: Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, Chandra X-ray Observatory, Spitzer Infrared Telescope as well as the HST for which Ball built many of the focal plane instruments.
