Department of Astronomy | NASA GSFC, USA, University of Maryland at College Park, USA;
Dr. Ralchenko's research is focused on spectroscopy of highly-charged ions, analysis of atomic processes in plasmas with emphasis on accurate modeling of plasma population kinetics, development of Internet atomic databases, and other aspects of plasma and atomic spectroscopy. This work includes collisional-radiative modeling of diverse plasmas (including non-Maxwellian and transient ones), production and assessment of accurate atomic data (energies, oscillator strengths, collisional cross sections, etc.), and development of methods and standards for uncertainty quantification and dissemination of scientific data. Dr. Ralchenko is an Editorial Board member of several scientific journals, has authored over 150 scientific publications, and has been a speaker at numerous national and international conferences.

Helmholtz Institute Jena, University of Jena, Germany;
Prof. Dr. Stephan Fritzsche is head of the theory group at the Helmholtz-Institute Jena and professor for theoretical physics, with focus on quantum systems in intense fields. Emphasis is placed in his work upon the relativistic theory of atoms and ions, a good number of atomic processes as well as the hierarchy of different atom-light interactions in intense fields.

Department of Materials Science and Applied Mathematics, Faculty of Technology and Society, Malmö University, Malmö, Sweden;
Prof. Per Jönsson's research focuses on scientific computing applied to quantum structure. He develops computational methods for solving non-relativistic and relativistic wave equations in atomic systems, enabling the determination of energy levels, hyperfine structure, isotope shifts, transition rates, and magnetic-field effects. This work supports astrophysical and fusion plasma modeling and contributes to nuclear property studies. He collaborates with leading research groups worldwide, is a member of the international COMPAS collaboration, and is a founding member of the LUMCAS center for atomic and astrophysical research. He also works with satellite-derived environmental data, particularly AVHRR and Sentinel sensors, in collaboration with Lund University’s Ecosystem Analysis group. His work has led to new methods for processing satellite time series, implemented in the widely used software package TIMESAT. These methods support studies of vegetation seasonality and long- and short-term ecosystem change, including current research on phenology and climate impacts on Swedish forests. In addition, he is active in education and technology, has led the Mathematics for the Digital Generation project funded by the Wallenberg Foundation, and has served on the board of the national research school in science and mathematics education (FontD).
