Arthur Ragauskas, the University of Tennessee-ORNL Governor’s Chair for Biorefining, and David Mandrus, a UT Knoxville professor, are named on the list with ORNL as their second affiliation. Easo George, who retired from ORNL as the Governor’s Chair for Advanced Alloy Theory and Development, is named on the list for his work in materials science.

“I came to the lab in 2014, and I was struck by the spirit of collaboration,” said Ragauskas. “My name is on these publications, but that’s only 10% of the whole effort. I’d like to take a moment to thank my postdocs and the other researchers who collaborated with me. They did the lion’s share.”
