What elements are named after scientists in the actinide series?
The actinides are a series of 15 radioactive elements, the group gets its name from the element Actinium. The elements are Actinium, Thorium, Protactinium, Uranium, Neptunium, Plutonium, Americium, Curium, Berkelium, Californium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Mendelevium, Nobelium and Lawrencium. Six of the elements of this group got their names from renowned scientists, Curium was named after Marie and Pierre Curie; the Einsteinium was named after Albert Einstein; Fermium was named after Enrico Fermi; the Mendelevium was named after Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev; the Nobelium after Alfred Nobel and Lawrencium is named after Ernest Lawrence.

How do scientists discover elements?
No.
What elements on the periodic table are named after discoverer?
Offhand I can't think of any that are directly named after their discoverer personally. There are several named after scientists (curium, einsteinium, seaborgium, mendelevium, etc.), but those scientists did not discover these particular elements (Seaborg discovered, or at least participated in the discovery of, several elements, but seaborgium was not one of them; likewise for Curie and curium; Einstein didn't discover any elements). There are some named after countries: francium and polonium were named after France and Poland... the countries where their discoverer, Marie Curie, was living and was born respectively. Finally, there are at least two named after an employer: californium and berkelium were named by a team working at the University of California - Berkeley. ("At least" because while lawrencium is supposedly named after Ernest O. Lawrence, it was discovered at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, which was ALSO named after Ernest O. Lawrence, making it a bit ambiguous.)
