David Jamieson is a Professor of Physics at the University of Melbourne. He served as President of the Australian Institute of Physics from 2005 to 2006 and is a Fellow of the AIP and the Institute of Physics UK. From 2008 to 2013, he served as the Head of the School of Physics at the University of Melbourne. His research expertise in the field of ion beam physics was applied to test some of the key functions of a revolutionary quantum computer constructed in silicon at the Australian Research Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology where he is a chief investigator and programme manager.

Andrew Anthony Bettiol is an Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore. He is a principal investigator at the Centre for Ion Beam Applications (CIBA), Singapore, a multi-disciplinary research centre aimed at developing new technologies based on fast protons and ions, and simultaneously undertaking research into novel applications where proton or ion-based technologies provide a unique cutting edge. His current research explores nuclear microscopy in addition to the ion beam modification of materials - modifying optical, electrical, and magnetic properties of materials including bulk materials, semiconductors, non-linear optical materials and 2D materials.

André Schleife is an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, United States. His research focus on computational material science and electronic and accelerated materials. He received the 2023 Dean's Award for Excellence in Research. His group uses advanced computation to understand and predict this intricate interplay for materials in electronic and energy applications and under extreme conditions. They study electronic excitations, triggered by interaction with electromagnetic and particle radiation, and subsequent femto-second relaxation processes.
