Biography
Vitaly Shchukin received the Diploma in physics and engineering from St. Petersburg State Polytechnical University, Russia, and the Ph.D. and Doctor of Sciences Degrees in physics and mathematics from Abraham Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, in 1983, 1987 and 1999, respectively. He was with Abraham Ioffe Institute, Technical University of Berlin, NL Nanosemiconductor GmbH (now Innolume GmbH), and Dortmund. He is currently the Chief Scientific Officer at VI Systems GmbH, Berlin. He authored and co-authored >250 papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings, over 30 patent families, and a monograph. His research topics cover self-organization phenomena at the epitaxy of nanostructures and the development of advanced optoelectronic devices with novel functionality including specially designed vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers, edge-emitting lasers, light-emitting diodes, single photon sources, etc. He is the recipient of the State Prize of Russia for Science and Technology in 2001 and of the Abraham Ioffe Prize in 1999 and 2002.
Biography
Anna Backerra graduated in theoretical physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands and worked for three years at Philips Research Laboratories. She continued independently, making a search for complementary physics. To develop a way of complementary thinking she studied composition at the Conservatory in Enschede and in Saint Petersburg (Russia). After that she constructed a complementary mathematical language and applied this to physics, obtaining twin physics. The surprisingly diverse results are published in 13 papers in Physical Essays, Applied Physics Research, Advances in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Int. J. of Nanotechnology & Nanomedicine and Nano Progress. They may be downloaded at www.itammagnetics.com. The most recent article is titled 'Electron creation by photon annihilation'. The results are combined in the book 'Twin Physics, the Complementary Model of phenomena', Lambert Academic Publishing, www.morebooks.shop; soon it will appear in a revised and updated form.
Biography
Luis Alberto Pérez obtained his PhD in Chemistry from the INFIQC-National University of Córdoba, Argentina, in 2015. The thesis is entitled: 'Optics at the nanoscale: Plasmonic Nanostructures Design with application to ultrasensitive spectroscopic detection of molecules.' In 2018, he joined the Institute of Material Sciences in Barcelona. He was honored with a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship from 2019 to 2021. His research interests focus on light-matter interaction, nanostructure synthesis, and electrodynamic simulations. He is currently working on colloidal nanoparticle arrays, hot electron generation, and CO2 photoreduction.
Biography
Ilgim Efeturk is one of the first full students of Turkey's first Department of Photonics, which was founded in 2015 and has served undergraduate education since 2019. She is one of the few founding members of the IZTECH Optics and Photonics Society (IZTECH-OPS). which was established on August 5, 2020, as an OPTICA (formerly OSA) Student Chapter and was the first official photonics student branch established within the institute. In addition to being Representative of IZTECH Department of Photonics and Representative of IZTECH Faculty of Science, she is the first female President of the Student Council in the history of her university, which was founded in 1992 and has 6500+ students. In addition to these, she is the Founder and President of IZTECH Quality Community, which was established in December, 2022, in order to disseminate the quality culture in higher education and R&D fields, internalize quality processes, increase the participation of students in the quality assurance system and to carry out studies in this field. She was awarded as one of the 20 Women Scholars to be supported financially and academically in 2022, selected worldwide by Optica (formerly OSA). She became the first Turkish student to be selected for this scholarship supported by major companies such as Google, Intel and Meta to empower the next generation of women leaders in optics and photonics; which accepts student applications from 36 countries and has a very difficult selection process due to its extraordinary application pool. In addition, she is one of the 53 female students and is the first & only photonics student supported academically under the WE-inTech Program which was officially launched by Arçelik Global in Turkey, Arctic in Romania, Defy Appliances in South Africa and Dawlance in Pakistan, and made available for the first time on a global scale to support women in new-generation research and development fields. Ilgim successfully completed her internship within the scope of the Eastern Anatolia Observatory in Erzurum, which hosts Turkey's largest and first NIR telescope with a diameter of 4 meters and she worked on the AO+RC+aO+DR optical performance of the DAG Telescope, especially on astrooptics which includes the adaptive optics & derotator system. She is currently doing a research internship on space robotics, and also conducts various studies on photonics and leadership within prestigious institutions in Turkey.
Biography
Prof. Friedrich Grimm was born in Stuttgart in 1954. He studied architecture at the University of Stuttgart and at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago in 1980. After having finished his studies in 1981, he worked as an employed architect and later on temporarily joined the scientific staff of the Institute for Building Construction at the University of Stuttgart. During his practice as a freelanced architect, since 1989 he took part in competitions and completed several multifamily houses in southern Germany. Due to a series of books, which he has written in the field of steel construction, edited by Ernst & Sohn in Berlin (2003), and one the subject of one family homes, edited by Callwey in Munich (2006), he was nominated a professor honorary in 2009 by the faculty one, for architecture and urban design at the university of Stuttgart. In 2016, he founded the RES- Institute as a completely independent think tank in the field of renewable energies. Since then he has worked with passion and endurance on projects matching the RES-Institute obligation to provide blueprints for a friendly climate on Earth. Several patents in the field of concentrated solar thermal systems led him into the field of optics where he invented a wide angel sensor, recording light signals with infinite depth of field in real time. Among his inventions, there is also a new achromatic lens focusing the light of different wavelengths, even x-rays. His latest invention relates to a quantum mechanical device that, making use of the electronic spin, is creating a toroidal and a poloidal magnetic field component in an electromagnetically enclosed plasma of a fusion reactor.
