Irene Byerelein is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at UC Santa Barbara. Her research focuses on the creation and design of advanced materials with unprecedented structural performance under extremes of strains, stress, and temperature. Commercially available materials typically have strength or toughness limitations and trade-offs and the overarching research goals will seek to understand and predict how to design and make novel lightweight materials that attain strengths nearer to their theoretical limits. These materials include multi-phase microstructures or nanostructures that can be manufactured in sizes suitable for structural applications. The research builds and advances high-throughput computational materials science and aims to uncover and understand key deformation mechanisms, to model and predict prevailing defect interactions with internal grain boundaries and interfaces, and to simulate manufacturing processes in order to design pathways for target micro- or nanostrutures.

Dr Calo holds the CSIRO Professorial Chair in Computational Geoscience and is a highly cited researcher who is actively involved in disseminating knowledge: Dr Calo holds two patents and has authored 170+ peer-reviewed publications. Also, in the last two years, he has given more than 18 invited presentations and keynotes at conferences and seminars and organised ten mini-symposia at international conferences. H-index: 21, sum of times cited ca. 3600.
Zbigniew Kąkol is a Professor of physics at the Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, AGH-University of Science and Technology, Kraków. AGH is his home university since 1977, when he has joined research team in Solid State Physics Department after receiving M. Sc. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automatics, University of Mining and Metallurgy, Krakow. Ph. D. degree, he received from the Department of Mathematics and Physics, Jagiellonian University, Krakow. From 1988 to 1991 he held postdoctoral research associate position in Chemistry Department, Purdue University, USA. In 1997 he got Professor position at the Faculty of Physics and Applied Computer Science, AGH-University of Science and Technology, Krakow. His extensive teaching experience covers courses in physics, solid state physics and computer science. Now, his research activity is focused on magnetism of solids and phase transitions in solids. He is an author of over 90 publications. H-index: 19, sum of times cited ca. 1000.
Dr.-Ing. Dominik Brands is a postdoctoral researcher and senior lecturer employed in the Institute of Mechanics at University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE). His main area of interest is focused on the multiscale simulations of heterogeneous materials and the high performance computation (HPC) in solid mechanics. Actually, he led three scientific projects funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) dealing with the homogenization of magneto-electric composites, degradation of fiber-reinforced high-performance concrete and analysis of microstructural residual stresses in hot bulk forming parts, respectively. Dr.-Ing. Brands is board member of the Center for Computational Sciences and Simulation at UDE. In addition to his research activities, he is member of the Scientific Computing Support Team assisting other UDE-researchers from all fields of computational sciences with focus on HPC. H-index: 6.
Dr Roger Andersson is employed as a Head of Research in SWERIM company. Responsible for a group of world-leading researchers and is part of the management team for the entire SWERIM. Together with SWERIM world-class experimental pilot and demo equipment, the group optimises and develops new processes in heat treatment and metal working processes. We have the capacity and ability to develop new metallic alloys including subsequent heating and metal working processes. Our physicists develops various commercial measurement and control systems for the metal manufacturing industry around the world. Together with theoretical studies, sensor development, data retrieving systems, FE simulations and advanced validation tools, SWERIM have a unique position to support and develop manufacturing processes for the steel and metal industry and its future challenges.
