An impressive suggestion...
As you have put several people of Science here, I would suggest adding Dmitrij Ivanovitch Mendeleev (1834-1903) - an all-around scientist from Russia, who worked with chemistry, physics, economics, meteorology, geography... He is primarily known for putting together the Periodic system of elements, thus allowing the mordern approach to the study of chemistry.
I also wonder if you had anything specific in mind when you sorted the Greatest Minds the way you did?
Waaalll,
