Robert John Nemanich is an American physicist.
Nemanich attended the Northern Illinois University, where he obtained bachelor's and master's degrees in physics, then continued studying the subject at the University of Chicago. [1] After completing his doctorate in 1977, [1] Nemanich began his teaching career at North Carolina State University, [1] [2] then moved to Arizona State University. [1] He was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1993 "[f]or his contributions to the application of Raman spectroscopy to the study of atomic structure is semiconducting thin films and interfaces." [3] In 2016, Arizona State University awarded Nemanich a Regents' Professorship. [4]

George Robert Pettit II was a Regents’ Professor in Chemistry in the School of Molecular Sciences (SMS) at Arizona State University. He was an internationally renowned and respected researcher in the field of natural anticancer compounds throughout his career of over six decades. Pettit has been honored by the International Cancer Advocacy Network, the American Society of Pharmacognosy, and Washington State University, his alma mater. A special edition of the Journal of Natural Products is dedicated to Pettit, and the French journal Médicine Sciences paid tribute to him. Pettit’s achievements earned him the designation of Outstanding Investigator by the United States National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute (NCI). Pettit and his impact on the field of anti-cancer compounds are the subject of the book, “Waging War on Cancer.”
