sentences: Stephen Pearton is an American materials scientist and engineer and Distinguished Professor at University of Florida.
 Pearton's work focuses on the use of advanced materials in areas such as laser diodes and nanomaterial applications and similar applications.
 He is a recipient of the J.J. Ebers Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the David Adler Lectureship from the American Physical Society.
 He is also a Fellow of multiple professional or academic societies, including the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the American Physical Society, the Materials Research Society, and the American Vacuum Society.
Atul Harish Chokshi (born 1958) is an Indian materials scientist, metallurgical engineer and a professor at the Department of Materials Engineering of the Indian Institute of Science.
 He is known for his studies on "high temperature deformation and failure of ceramic materials" and is an elected fellow of all the three major Indian science academies viz.
 the National Academy of Sciences, India, Indian Academy of Sciences, and Indian National Science Academy as well as the Indian National Academy of Engineering.
 The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards for his contributions to Engineering Sciences in 2003.
Lionel C. Kimerling is an American materials scientist, known for his work in the field of semiconductor materials and their processing.
 As of 2016, he is the Thomas Lord Professor of Materials Science & Engineering at the Department of Materials Science & Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
 He headed the Materials Physics Research Department of AT&T Bell Laboratories from 1981 to 1990.
Sang Wook Cheong is a Korean American materials scientist at Rutgers University.
 He has made ground-breaking contributions to the research field of enhanced physical functionalities in complex materials originating from collective correlations and collective phase transitions such as colossal magnetoresistive and colossal magnetoelectric effects in complex oxides.
 He has also made pivotal contributions to mesoscopic self-organization in solids, including the nanoscale charge stripe formation, mesoscopic electronic phase separation in mixed valent transition metal oxides, and the formation of topological vortex domains in multiferroics, which was found to be synergistically relevant to mathematics (graph theory) and cosmology.
Yuval Golan is an Israeli materials scientist who works at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU).
 Golan, a professor of materials engineering, studies materials at the nanoscale level and focuses on their synthesis, characterization and applications.
 Golan is the Director of the Ilse Katz Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology, and chairman of the synchrotron committee of the Israeli Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
Markus J. Buehler is an American materials scientist and engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
 He is a professor at MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, where he directs the Laboratory for Atomistic and Molecular Mechanics (LAMM).
 Since 2013, he serves as the Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT.
 His research and teaching activities center on the application of a computational materials science approach to understand functional material properties in biological and synthetic materials, specifically focused on mechanical properties.
 His work is highly cross-disciplinary and incorporates materials science, engineering, mathematics and the establishment of links between natural materials with the Arts through the use of category theory.
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey ( ), commonly referred to as Rutgers University, Rutgers, or RU, is an American public research university and the largest institution for higher education in New Jersey.
Winston Oluwole Soboyejo commonly known as "Wole" is an American Scientist of Yoruba Nigerian parentage.
 He is a materials scientist whose research focuses on biomaterials and the use of nanoparticles for the detection and treatment of disease, the mechanical properties of materials, and the use of materials science to promote global development.
Marc André Meyers is an American materials scientist, engineer and Distinguished Professor at the University of California, San Diego.
 Meyers studies and writes about the dynamic behavior of materials, synthesis, processing, impact testing, and characterization of new materials.
 He also studies the properties of biological materials, and in particular the protective coverings of animals.
 Abalone shells, toucan beaks, the scales of exotic fish, feathers, piranha teeth, rabbit skin, boxfish, turtle and armadillo carapaces, and pangolin scales are some of the biological materials studied by his group.
Arthur S. Nowick (29 August 1923 – 20 July 2010) was an American materials scientist.
 He made pioneering contributions to the study of internal friction, anelasticity, crystal defects and other subjects over a fifty-year career and helped develop materials science from a field focused on metals to one that encompasses all classes of materials.
