**Meet the editors**

Dr.Scie. Prof. Sergei L. Pyshkin is Principal Investigator of the Institute of Applied Physics, Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Adjunct Professor and Senior Fellow of Clemson University, SC, USA, member of The US Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS), awarded the State Prize of Rep. Moldova for investigations in solid-state physics and microelectronics. The works deal

with non-linear optics (multi-quantum absorption), electron and phonon transport phenomena, photoconductivity and light scattering, luminescence, crystal and thin film growth, molecular beam and laser assisted epitaxies, nanotechnology, lasers for medicine, scientific instrument making (boxcar-integrators and solid-state IR matrix photoreceivers). Biography of Prof. Pyshkin is included into the Marquis "Who's Who in America" (2008- 2013) and "Who's Who in the World" (2009-2013).

Dr. John Ballato is a professor of materials science and engineering (MSE) at Clemson University where he also directs the Center for Optical Materials Science and Engineering Technologies (COMSET). He earned a B.S. in Ceramic Science and Engineering (1993) and the Ph.D. in Ceramic and Materials Engineering (1997) from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Dr. Ballato

has published more than 250 archival scientific papers, holds 25 U.S. and foreign patents, has given in excess of 140 invited lectures/colloquia, and has co-organized 25 national and international conferences and symposia. Among other honors, he is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA), the International Society of Optical Engineering (SPIE), and the American Ceramic Society (ACerS).
