She did her PhD in Materials Science Department at Northwestern University in 2008.  Nasim has been a postdoctoral...
N.W. (Neil) Ashcroft is an Emeritus Professor at Cornell currently collaborating with the EFree groups at Carnegie, especially on developing novel materials which might display new forms of electronic order, these possibly beneficial to energy storage and also energy transport . The work is in the general area of theoretical condensed matter...
John Badding received his B.S. from Manhattan College in 1984 and his Ph.D. from the University of California - Berkely in 1989.  He has been a Professor of Chemistry at the Pennsylvania State University since 1991. His research focuses on several areas of inorganic and polymeric materials chemistry, including optoelectronic materials and...
Vincent Crespi received his B.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1988 and his Ph.D. from the University of California - Berkely in 1994.  He has been a Professor of Physics at the Pennsylvania State University since 2001. His research is best described as materials theory, broadly defined. He uses a variety of techniques chosen...
Brent Fultz received his undergraduate degree from MIT and his Ph.D. from U. C. Berkeley in 1982. He was a Presidential Young Investigator, and received an IBM Faculty Development Award, a Jacob Wallenberg Scholarship, and won the TMS EMPMD Distinguished Scientist Award in 2010. Brent Fultz has been announced as the winner of the 2016 William Hume...
Roald Hoffmann is the Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters Emeritus at Cornell University. He and his group study the electronic structure of molecules and extended structures under ambient conditions and extreme pressure, looking for connections between all areas of chemistry and physics.
Lakshmi Krishna's research focuses on inorganic clathrates for renewable energy applications. Inorganic clathrates are inclusion compounds based on the covalently bound frameworks surrounding 'guest' atoms. I'm working on synthetic routes to control phase selection, composition and form factor (bulk, thin film) in group IV inorganic clathrates....
Kai Landskron's research is focused on nanoporous inorganic and organic-inorganic hybrid solid state materials. The research is synthetically oriented but also investigates the structural, physical, and chemical properties as well as possible applications of nanoporous materials. One major research focus is on the high-pressure chemistry of...
Tianshu Li is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cival and Environmental Engineering at George Washington University.  He received his Ph.D. from the University of California - Berkeley in 2005. His work focuses on molecular simulations (density functional theory and force field), nucleation and growth in liquid-solid phase...
P. Craig Taylor received the A. B. degree from Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, in 1964 and the Ph.D. degree from Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, in 1969.  He was a Research Associate at Brown University and a National Academy of Sciences Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Naval Research Laboratory between 1969 and 1971. ...
