Stoyan Smoukov, PhD, is a Professor at Queen Mary University of London, leading the Active & Intelligent Materials (AIM) Lab (previously from 2012-2017 at the University of Cambridge). He has led pioneering research in multi-functional materials with the support of the prestigious European Research Council individual ERC grant. His focus on bottom-up design for inanimate materials has yielded novel artificial muscles, supercapacitors, multifunctional materials which can replace whole devices, the discovery of artificial morphogenesis, and combinatorial approaches to multi-functionality. Prof. Smoukov has published more than 95 journal papers, cited over 4000 times, with an H-index of 35. Joseph Seckbach, PhD, is a retired senior academician at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel. He earned his PhD from the University of Chicago and did a post-doctorate in the Division of Biology at Caltech, in Pasadena, CA. He served at Louisiana State University (LSU), Baton Rouge, LA, USA, as the first selected Chair for the Louisiana Sea Grant and Technology transfer. Professor Joseph Seckbach has edited over 40 scientific books and authored about 140 scientific articles. Richard Gordon, PhD, is a theoretical biologist who retired from the Department of Radiology, University of Manitoba in 2011. Presently he is at Gulf Specimen Marine Lab & Aquarium, Panacea, Florida. His interest in exobiology (now astrobiology) dates from 1960s undergraduate work on organic matter in the Orgueil meteorite with Edward Anders. He has published critical reviews of panspermia and the history of discoveries of life in meteorites, and with Stoyan Smoukov, worked on shaped droplets supporting the Archaea First Hypothesis.
