Franz Faupel was born in Fritzlar, Germany, in 1957. He received his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Göttingen in 1985, working on diffusion in alloys. In 1987, he joined the IBM Th. J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, as a postdoctoral fellow studying mechanical properties of metal-polymer structures as well as diffusion and solid-state reactions in thin films. In 1988, he returned to the University of Göttingen where his research focused on diffusion in metallic glasses and other amorphous media, metal-polymer interfaces, and thermodynamics of high-temperature superconductors. Since 1994, Faupel has been a full professor and held the Chair for Multicomponent Materials within the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering at Kiel University where hass forming metallic melts, positron annihilation spectroscopy of defects in non-crystalline materials, and more recente is also a faculty member in the Physics Department. In Kiel, he extended his research inter alia to diffusion and glass transition in glly to functional nanocomposites and organic thin films, plasma nanoscience, plasmonics, magnetoelectric sensors, photocatalysis, and memristive devices for bioinspired neuromorphic circuits.
Professor Faupel holds the Chair for Multicomponent Materials at Kiel University and is Chairman of the North German Initiative Nanotechnology NINa SH e.V. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the IBM Research Center Yorktown Heights and got his habilitation in 1992 at the University of Göttingen. His research interests include functional nanocomposites, magnetoelectric sensors, photocatalysis, plasma deposition, and memristive devices for bioinspired neuromorphic computing. He published more than 400 research papers and is currently listed in the Web of Science with an h index of 57.  He is very concerned by the climate crisis and is founding member of the ”International Alliance of Societies for a Sustainable Future”, which will be launched soon.

Jeffrey McCord

Prof. Dr. Ing. Jeffrey McCord was born in Erlangen, Germany. He received his engineering diploma and Ph.D. degree from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany, both in Materials Science and Engineering. From 1997 he was with IBM Storage Division, San Jose, USA, developing magnetic recording head materials. From 2002 to 2009 he was research scientist and group leader at the Leibniz Institute for Solid State Physics and Materials Science, Dresden, Germany until he took over a position as head of department “Nanomagnetism” at the Helmholtz-Center Dresden-Rossendorf, Dresden, Germany. He is co-founder, partner, and served as director of evico magnetics GmbH, Germany. Prof. McCord has joined Kiel University, Germany as a Heisenberg-Professor for Materials Science in 2011. At Kiel University he has been involved in research and teaching in the areas of magnetism and magnetic materials, advanced metallic and ceramic materials. His primary research focuses on magnetic domains and magnetic materials. The topics of research range from fundamental research to engineering materials concentrating on magnetization dynamics, exchange bias, magnetic thin films, and nanomagnetism. He has published over 130 papers in peer-reviewed journals and has more than 60 invited talks on these subjects.

Christian Ohrt

Christian Ohrt studied materials science and Engineering at Kiel University. Since earning his doctorate in 2015, Dr. Christian Ohrt has been working as the network manager for the North German Initiative Nanotechnology Schleswig-Holstein. His duties include enlarging the network and linking key players in nanotechnology across northern Germany and the Baltic Sea Region. In his role as network manager he identifies collaborative opportunities between academia and industry, organizes nanotechnology-focused events and international conferences, and more recently, manages a program for the convey of sponsorships by North German companies for international students.

Berit Zeller-Plumhoff

Berit Zeller-Plumhoff holds a master in Applied Mathematics and a PhD in Bioengineering. As a PhD student she was focussing on tomographic imaging and image-based modelling of soft tissues. Since September 2016, she leads the project 'MgBone - Multimodal imaging for structural analysis of bone modeling induced by degraded magnesium implants' and works at the Hereon outstation DESY in Hamburg. Berit studies the impact of biodegradable implants on the crystallization and crystal orientation of newly formed bone.

Franz Faupel

Professor Faupel holds the Chair for Multicomponent Materials at Kiel University and is Chairman of the North German Initiative Nanotechnology NINa SH e.V. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the IBM Research Center Yorktown Heights and got his habilitation in 1992 at the University of Göttingen. His research interests include functional nanocomposites, magnetoelectric sensors, photocatalysis, plasma deposition, and memristive devices for bioinspired neuromorphic computing. He published more than 400 research papers and is currently listed in the Web of Science with an h index of 57.
