Mohamed N Rahaman is Professor Emeritus of Materials Science and Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology. He has over 40 years of research experience in materials for technical and biomedical applications, of which the last 20 years were focused on materials for biomedical applications. He also taught or co-taught a senior undergraduate and graduate level course in biomaterials for over 15 years. Dr. Rahaman is a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society, the author 5 textbooks in the area of ceramic materials processing and fabrication, the author or co-author of over 280 reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings, and the co-inventor of 3 US patents in the area of medical devices.

Roger F. Brown is Professor Emeritus of Biological Sciences at Missouri University of Science and Technology. He has 30 years of research experience with materials designed for hard tissue and soft tissue biomedical applications. He co-taught (in collaboration with Professor Rahaman) a senior undergraduate and graduate level course in biomaterials for over 10 years. Dr. Brown is the author or co-author of over 60 reviewed journal articles and conference proceedings, and a co-inventor on one US patent that pertains to use of bioactive borate glass microfibers for soft tissue repair.
