Elbio Dagotto is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Tennessee, and Distinguished Scientist at the Materials Science and Technology Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. He specializes in the study of model Hamiltonians for systems where strong correlations among the electrons play a fundamental role, using a variety of many-body approximations particularly computational techniques. Dagotto's research has been mainly supported by the National Science Foundation and by the Department of Energy.
Dagotto is Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and of the American Physical Society. He was member of the Solid State Sciences Committee of the National Academy of Sciences and divisional editor of the Physical Review Letters. As of September 2011, Dagotto has over 300 publications (h=62), and has directed the work of 13 graduate students and 24 postdoctoral assistants.

Chang-Beom Eom is currently a Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on epitaxial thin film heterostructures of complex oxides, including ferroelectrics, piezoelectrics, multiferroics, superconductors, and novel two-dimensional electron gases at oxide interfaces, with an emphasis on understanding fundamental solid state phenomena and developing novel device applications.
Eom received a National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award in 1994 and a David Lucile Packard Fellowship in 1995. He is the 2007 recipient of the Ho-Am Prize in Engineering and is a fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) and of the MRS. He was an invited professor at the Department of Physics of University of Geneva, Switzerland in 2003. Eom has authored over 250 publications with over 9000 citations and has an h-index of 50. He also holds four patents.

Ramamoorthy Ramesh is currently the Plato Malozemoff Chair Professor in Materials Science and Physics at University of California, Berkeley. His current research interests include thermoelectric and photovoltaic energy conversion in complex oxide heterostructures. He has published extensively on the synthesis and materials physics of complex oxide materials. He received the Humboldt Senior Scientist Prize and Fellowship to the American Physical Society (2001). In 2005, he was elected a Fellow of American Association for the Advancement of Science as well as the David Adler Lectureship of the American Physical Society. In 2007, he was awarded the Materials Research Society David Turnbull Lectureship Award and in 2009, he was elected Fellow of MRS and is the recipient of the 2010 APS McGroddy New Materials Prize. He is currently serving as the Director of the Dollar a Watt, SunShot program at the U.S. Department of Energy, overseeing the R&D activities of the Solar Program.
