ntly is the optical and chemical properties of noble metal nanoparticles and their applications in nanocatalysis, nanophotonics and nanomedicine.
El-Sayed and his research group have contributed to many important areas of physical and materials chemistry research. Research interests include the use of steady-state and ultrafast laser spectroscopy to understand relaxation, transport and conversion of energy in molecules, in solids, in photosynthetic systems, semiconductor quantum dots and metal nanostructures. The El-Sayed group has also been involved in the development of new techniques such as magnetophoto selection, picosecond Raman spectroscopy and phosphorescence microwave double resonance spectroscopy.
El-Sayed earned his doctoral degree from Florida State University and his bachelor of science degree at Ein Shams University in Cairo, Egypt.
Leonard Kleinrock - University of California, Los Angeles
For his fundamental contributions to the mathematical theory of modern data networks, and for the functional specification of packet switching, which is the foundation of Internet technology. His mentoring of generations of students has led to the commercialization of technologies that have transformed the world.
Now a professor at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) where he's been for more than the last four decades, Leonard Kleinrock may indeed be called the "Father of the Internet." He created the basic principles of packet switching, the technology underpinning the Internet, while a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In this effort, he developed the mathematical theory of data networks. This was a decade before the birth of the Internet which occurred when his host computer at UCLA became the first node of the Internet in 1969. He wrote the first paper and published the first book on the subject; he also directed the transmission of the first message to pass ove
