David Wright's primary expertise is experimentation with potentially hazardous substances under extreme conditions to make and modify advanced materials for fundamental research and applied development.

Treacy received his Ph.D. in physics from Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, in 1979. His interests are: modeling hypothetical zeolite frameworks; studying disordered materials by Fluctuation Microscopy; the topology of knotted, woven, and linked molecules.

Venables retired from his tenured post in 2008. He was rehired increasingly part-time in connection with the PSM in Nanoscience, for which he is the founding program director.

Director of the LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid State Science. Research interests include phase transformation nanostructure, interfaces in solids, and high resolution analytical electron microscopy.

Jeff Yarger primary research interests are in biophysical chemistry, nano-materials and the general field of disordered or amorphous materials.

Ponce's current interest is in the understanding of the materials properties of III-V nitrides, and their correlation to growth and to device performance for solid state lighting.

Dr. Peng's expertise is in computational physics (first principles density-functional theory calculations) and material science.

Seo's research interests focus on design of new synthetic strategies, and synthesis, characterization, and applications of new inorganic porous materials.

Ros is a faculty member of SMS and the Center for Applied Structural Discovery at ASU's Biodesign Institute. Her current research interests include bioanlalytics in the micro- and nanoenvironment.

The Milton D. Glick Distinguished Professor in Chemistry and Biochemistry and director of the Center for Molecular Design and Biomimetics in the Biodesign Institute at ASU.
