Daniel Mirman
Dan is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Edinburgh, UK. His research investigates the neurobiology of language processing and language disorders using behavioural and eye-tracking experiments, neuroimaging, and computational modeling methods. His primary focus areas are the organisation of semantic knowledge and the functional neuroanatomy of spoken language.
Artem Mishchenko
Artem Mishchenko is a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Physics and Astronomy, the University of Manchester. His research interests are in the fields of condensed matter physics and nanotechnology, with the emphasis on quantum transport in van der Waals materials; in addition, he has strong expertise in electronics, nanoelectromechanical systems, and instrumentation development. The major contributions to these fields have been published in over 70 peer-referred papers, many in Science and Nature journals, leading to more than 12000 citations and h-index of 33. He is regularly invited to present his results on international conferences; he also leads the collaboration between Manchester and High Magnetic Field Facilities in Europe. He has initiated several new research directions, such as a tunnelling and capacitance spectroscopy of van der Waals heterostructures, and nanoelectromechanics in 2D materials; his works led to the development of many new functional devices, including nanoscale transistors and photovoltaic sensors. As a recognition of his achievements, he has received several prestigious awards including SNSF Fellowship, EPSRC Early Career Fellowship, and EMFL Prize 2018. He is also named in 2018 list of Highly Cited Researchers from Clarivate Analytics.

Katherine Mitsouras
Katherine received her Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Brown University and her PhD in Biological Chemistry from the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. She subsequently trained in microarray technology development at Dr Stan Nelson's lab in the Department of Human Genetics at UCLA and collaborated with Agilent Technologies to develop microarrays to detect tissue-specific alternative splicing events in humans. Since 2007 she has been an Assistant, then Associate Professor of Biochemistry at Western University of Health Sciences.
Jyoti Mittal
Dr. Jyoti Mittal is presently listed as 2018 Highly Cited Researcher (HCR) by Clarivate Analytics in the Crossfield section. Out of 10 Indian HCR of 2018, she is the only woman scientist receiving this distinction. She is presently working as Assistant Professor at Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal (India).
