Prof. Jordi Arbiol graduated in Physics from the Universitat de Barcelona (UB) in 1997, he went on to obtain his PhD (European Doctorate and PhD Extraordinary Award) in 2001 from this same institution in the field of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) applied to nanostructured materials. He was assistant professor at the UB. From 2009 to 2015 he was ICREA Professor and group leader at the Institut de Ciència de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC). He was President of the Spanish Microscopy Society (SME) (2017-2021) and held the position of vice-president from 2013 to 2017, having been a member of its Executive Board (2009-2021). In 2018 he was elected as Member of the Executive Board of the International Federation of Societies for Microscopy (IFSM) (2019-2026).
Since 2015 he has been ICREA Professor and leader of the Advanced Electron Nanoscopy Group at the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), CSIC and BIST. He is Scientific Supervisor of the Electron Microscopy Area at ICN2 and BIST, and also at the Electron Microscopy Center at the ALBA Synchrotron (EMCA). He has been one of the founding members of e-DREAM. He received the FWO Commemorative Medal (Flanders Research Foundation) in 2021, the BIST Ignite Award in 2018, the 2014 EU40 Materials Prize by the E-MRS, the 2014 EMS Outstanding Paper Award and was listed in the Top 40 under 40 Power List (2014) by The Analytical Scientist. As of May 2022 he has more than 415 peer-reviewed publications and more than 24700 citations (GoS) with h-index: 88 GoS (76 WoS).
Lars Samuelson is since 1988 Professor at Lund University and since 2021 also Chair Professor at SUSTech, Southern University of Science and Technology, in Shenzhen, China and Dean of the Institute of Nanoscience and Applications, INA. In 1990 he founded NanoLund and was its leader for the first 25+ years. His research is focused on nanoscale materials physics, with a special focus on epitaxial growth, optical properties and on potential applications in optoelectronics. Beside the academic research he also has strong engagements as Chief Scientists in high-tech companies such as Glo AB and Hexagem AB. He is a Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (Physics) and of the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences and was in 2023 elected Foreign Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2022 he was given the top award from the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences, the "Great Gold Medal" and in 2024 he received the “Chinese Government Friendship Award”. Samuelson is the author of well over 700 articles with h-index 91 by Web-of-Science, and 110 by Google Scholar, and listed in the top 1% highly cited researchers by Web-of-Science. He has given >300 plenary/invited talks at international conferences and workshops.
