Marc Andre Meyers is an American materials scientist, engineer and Distinguished Professor at the University of California, San Diego.〔("Translating thought to print" ). ''3D Printing Progress''.〕 Meyers studies and writes about the dynamic behavior of materials, synthesis, processing, impact testing, and characterization of new materials.〔("Tough, light and strong: Lessons from nature could lead to the creation of new materials" ). ''Phys.org''. February 14, 2013〕 He also studies the properties of biological materials,〔("Why your skin is so tough" ). ''MailOnline''.〕〔("This Giant Fish Has Adaptable Piranha-Proof Armour" ). ''National Geographic''. by Ed Yong〕 and in particular the protective coverings of animals.〔("Seahorse's armor gives engineers insight into robotics designs" ). ''eScience''.

''San Diego Union-Tribune'' By Gary Robbins, Shaffer Grubb & Beto Alvarez March 16, 2014〕 In the summer of 2014, he organized a group including Col Hiram Reis, Col Ivan Angonese and Jeffrey Lehmann to follow the Roosevelt-Rondon Scientific Expedition along the "River of Doubt".〔 Meyers is the recipient of many awards and recognitions and has been inducted as a Fellow of the American Society for Metals (ASM International (society)), The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society (TMS) and the American Physical Society (APS). He is the co-author of four technical books: *Mechanical Metallurgy (1984) *Dynamic Behavior of Materials (1994) *Mechanical Behavior of Materials (2008) *Biological Materials Science (2014) In addition to being a researcher, Meyers is also a fiction writer and has published four novels. These books retell stories and drama from many years of working in university research departments.〔http://www.meyersgroup.ucsd.edu/press_releases/2005/JOM-0512-88.pdf〕 His novels include: * "A Dama E O Luxemburgues" ("D'Amour et d'Acier", in French translation) *"Chechnya Jihad" *"Mayan Mars" *"Abscission/Implosion" He is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and of the Institut Grand Ducal. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marc A.
