Institute of Space Sciences (IEEC-CSIC), Barcelona, Spain;Prof. Sergei Odintsov is an ICREA Research Professor at Space Science Institute (CSIC-IEEC), Barcelona. He is the author of two monographs and about 790 articles cited over 90000 times,. One of his ms is cited over 5000 times while three of his manuscripts were cited more than 3000 times each one. He is well-known for the discovery of the complete universe history evolution, unifying inflation with Dark Energy, within modified gravity. Among his fundamental results are classification and novel types of singularity for future universe evolution, generalised Holographic Dark Energy model for description of late universe, novel theories of modified gravity including Gauss-Bonnet gravity, generalised entropy concept invention with cosmological applications, etc. Prof. Odintsov is Member of the Royal Norwegian Academy (Trondheim) and Serbian Academy of Nonlinear Sciences (Serbia), member of the European Physics Society, and the Italian Society for General Relativity and Gravitation, honorary professor of several universities. He was awarded by the Amaldi Gold Medal: European Prize for Grav. Physics 2014. Prof. Odintsov is an Editorial Board Member of ten journals being Editor-in-Chief of Symmetry and Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Astrophysics. His h-index=137 (Google S.), h=125 (inspirehep). According to research.com he is ranked 381 among the Top 1000 Scientists in Physics in the world (2026). Top Cited Clarivate Analytics Researcher in 2014-2018, 2023

Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Palermo, Palermo, Italy;Dr. Calogero Vetro is an Associate Professor of mathematical analysis at the Universy of Palermo, Italy, where he has been since 2005. He is also affiliated with the department of mathematics and computer science at the same University. Dr. Vetro has various editorial roles on the boards of several scientific journals and has been the guest editor of special issues about fixed point theory, functional analysis, and partial differential equations.

School of Physics, UNSW Sydney, Sydney, Australia;580 publications, mainly in atomic, nuclear and particle physics, also on quantum effects in black holes, statistical and condensed matter physics, and astrophysics. Positions: Leading Scientist at Institute of Nuclear Physics and Professor at Novosibirsk State University. In 1991 joined University of New South Wales, Sydney as Professor of Theoretical Physics. Scientia Professor since 2003. Visiting Fellowships include Harvard University, Harvard–Smithsonian observatory (led topical group), Princeton University, Princeton Institute for Advanced Study, JILA and Argonne Laboratory (USA), Humboldt and Gutenberg (Germany).
State Key Laboratory of Dark Matter Physics, Tsung-Dao Lee Institute & School of Physics and Astronomy, Shanghai Jiao Tong University;Prof. Shu Li is presently a tenured fellow at Tsung-Dao Lee Institute (TDLI), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). He obtained his bachelor and PhD degree from University of Science and Technology of China and pursued postdoctoral research at Duke University and CERN before joining TDLI/SJTU in 2017 as the first T.D. Lee Fellow. His research focuses on high-energy experimental particle physics, including Higgs&Electroweak physics and also new physics beyond the Standard Model utilizing the ATLAS high energy proton-proton collision data from Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and led several international research groups of LHC-ATLAS collaboration. He is also the Principal Investigator of future DarkSHINE experiment R&D, being the first accelerator-based fixed-target experiment initiative in China dedicated to dark photon search with high repetition rate electron beam from SHINE (Shanghai HIgh repetitioN rate XFEL and Extreme light facility). He has been awarded several national and Shanghai municipal talent programs and been the leading Principal Investigators of NSFC international key research project and original exploration program, MOST national key research and development program sub-taskforce, and Shanghai pilot program for basic research.
