Which famous engineer should be on an element14 sticker?

About five years ago, we printed up some element14 stickers with Nikola Tesla on them.  i just found the last remaining one in my desk drawer which made me think that we should have some new ones printed. 

 

We're also going to print some with Ada Lovelace.

Who else should get this high honor?  Here's our suggestions, "vote" for two in the comments below!

Thomas Alva Edison

Michael Faraday

image

Beulah Louise Henry

image

Heinrich Hertz

image

Katherine Johnson

Hedy Lamarr

    > Thomas Newcomen for his atmospheric engine (the early steam engine)

     

    this one was interesting to know, I've never heard about the atmospheric engine before. Why did you choose this one, instead of the popular variant of the steam engine?

    Miceal Faraday!

    He did great work on electromagnetism and electrochemistry!

    Maxwell or Hertz, in that order.

    If you make them small with NFC tags in them, I'd buy a roll.

    Indeed! The Temse bridge in Belgium.

    Ingrid Daubechies ,

     

    The name Daubechies is widely associated with the orthogonal Daubechies wavelet and the biorthogonal CDF wavelet. A wavelet from this family of wavelets is now used in the JPEG 2000 standard.

    If I couldn’t add another, I’d vote for Katherine Johnson and Hedy Lamarr.  If I could, I’d add Harold ‘Doc’ Keen, who was the British engineer, working for the British Tabulating Machine company, and who was able to take Alan Turing’s vision for the Bombe and turn it into the most fantastic circuit tester in the world to help break Enigma messages during the war.  Might have to duke it out with the suggestion for Tommy Flowers (who actually managed to break a Bombe!) who is just as worthy.  TBH, they all are!
