Sir John Pendry, Professor of Theoretical Solid State Physics since 1981 at Imperial College London
In 2006 he came up with the idea of bending light in such a way that it could form a container around an object which effectively makes the object invisible and produced a paper with David R. Smith who demonstrated the idea at the frequency of microwaves.

A short article in Physical Review Letters in 2000 which extended work done by Russian scientist Victor Veselago and suggested a simple method of creating a lens whose focus was theoretically perfect, has become his most cited paper.
