Dr Patience Mthunzi

South Africa

Senior Scientist
Council for Scientific and Industrial Research

Patience Mthunzi holds a PhD (2010) in Physics (Biophotonics – Optical Tweezers Area) from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland, UK. She is the first known person in South Africa to qualify for a PhD in this field of study. She started employment with the National Laser Centre (NLC) in the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)in the Biophotonics group in October 2004. During November 2005 to April 2006 she set up a fully functional cell culture facility at the NLC before commencing her PhD (May 2006) in the UK.

Prof. Stephen A. Miller

United States

Associate Professor
University of Florida

The Miller Research Group at the University of Florida is focused on polymerization chemistry that converts readily available biorenewable feedstocks into thermoplastic polymers—with the specific intent of mimicking commodity thermoplastics. We use chemical approaches to innovate new polymers, focusing on the origin (birth), properties (life), and degradation (death) of eco-friendly and sustainable materials. By incorporating less-studied functional groups into the polymer chain, novel polymer behaviors can be effected. For example, water-degradable polymers can be constructed that do not require the more stringent conditions of biodegradation. 1994, BSc and MSc in Chemistry, ...
