NU top material subfields and scientists?

<p>Hi everyone!
I am a prospective Phd student of MSE department. I know MSE at NU is awesome. But what are its best subareas? Is there anyone who can provide some information about its scientists or recommend several excellent professors?(e.g Does he/she have great influence in material society? Is he/she easy to get along with? What is the chance to enter industry as his/her Phd student?..)
Any inside information is particularly appreciated! Thank you, guys!</p>
