SUBMIT AN ARTICLE > 2021 Winners Andrew J. Musser Andrew J Musser received a Bachelor's in Physics from Georgia Tech in 2006. Following stints in synthetic organic chemistry in Mainz and countertrafficking work in Moscow, he moved to Groningen, The Netherlands, in 2008. There he pursued a Master's in Nanoscience at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials, where he investigated DNA-block-copolymer materials for drug delivery and electronics. He returned to Physics in 2010 at the University of Cambridge, undertaking Ph.D. and postdoctoral research with Richard Friend on the ultrafast exciton photophysics of organic semiconductors. From 2016 to 2019 he pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Sheffield with David Lidzey, developing an interest in the spectroscopy of organic exciton-polaritons. He moved to Cornell as an Assistant Professor in 2019. His group applies ultrafast optical spectroscopy and strong light-matter interactions to understand and control the ultrafast dynamics of organic semiconductors, framework materials, and photocatalysts. Andrew J. Musser Cornell University, US Yoav Green Yoav Green received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the Technion (Israel Institute of Technology), where his research focused on nanofluidics. He holds a B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from the Technion and an M.Sc. in Physics from the Weizmann Institute of Science. Yoav completed his postdoctoral studies at Harvard's T.H. Chan School of Public Health, working on biomechanics. Yoav currently heads the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory (FML), where the lab focuses on the fundamental physics of ion transport through charged nanochannels. The lab takes a multidisciplinary approach of theoretical modeling, numerical simulations, and experiments to elucidate the current-voltage response of nanofluidic systems.
