Dr. Mahshid Ahmadi received her Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in 2013. She then worked as a research technology consultant in a start-up solar cell company (HEE) in Dallas, Texas, USA. She is currently working as an assistant professor at Joint Institute for Advanced Materials (JIAM), Department of Materials Science, University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Her research interest includes materials development and electronic device fabrication. Specially, her current research focuses on organic-inorganic halide perovskite photovoltaics and
high energy radiation detectors.

Eric Gros-Daillon joined CEA-Leti in 2006 as a research engineer after a Master degree in detection physics and a Ph.D. on gamma-ray semiconducting detectors for SPECT. His research covered a large range of detectors technologies such as semiconductor detectors working in spectrometric and counting mode (CdTe and GaAs) and scintillator detectors (LYSO and CsI). He also worked on the CMOS readout circuits which are coupled to these detectors. He has supervised 14 PhD and post-doctorant students and is the author of 24 scientific papers and holds 10 patents. Two detectors developed by Dr Gros-Daillon have been successfully transferred to the industry. His present scientific focus is on perovskite detectors for X-ray medical radiography and he is the coordinator of the European project Peroxis.

Joseph M. Luther obtained B.S. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from North Carolina State University in 2001. At NCSU he began his research career under the direction of Salah Bedair, who was the first to fabricate a tandem junction solar cell. Luther worked on growth and characterization high-efficiency III-V materials including GaN and GaAsN. His interest in photovoltaics sent him to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to pursue graduate work. He obtained a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado while researching effects of defects in bulk semiconductors in NREL�s Measurements and Characterization Division. In 2005, He joined Art Nozik�s group at NREL and studied semiconductor nanocrystals for multiple exciton generation for which he was awarded a Ph.D. in Physics from Colorado School of Mines. As a postdoctoral fellow, he studied fundamental synthesis and novel properties of nanomaterials under the direction Paul Alivisatos at the University of California and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. In 2009, he rejoined NREL as a senior research scientist. His research interests lie in the growth, electronic coupling and optical properties of colloidal nanocrystals and quantum dots.

As a Chief Operating Officer (COO), Silke Traut brings more than 20 years of industrial experience in technology development and production. Her teams translate the latest developments of the worlds fastest X-ray cameras into industrial production. After her Masters Degree in Applied Physics at UMass Lowell she worked in micro-optics and thin-film technology for a few years. She then joined the semiconductor GaAs laser industry for 13 years to work on process technology development. Since 2011 she is with DECTRIS, leading different teams and projects to develop and manufacture X-ray and electron cameras to spark scientific breakthroughs around the world.

Obtained PhD degree from National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in 2007. 2008 - 2013 years Sergii is a PostDoc in JKU Linz, Austria in Prof. Wolfgang Heiss group. In 2013 he joined the group of Prof. Maksym Kovalenko group in ETH Zurich, Switzerland where he is a Senior Research Associate (Oberassistent)  since 2018. 

The main achievements are for the discovering of perovskite hard radiation and full-colour photo-detectors, optical gain and lasing in perovskite nanocrystal films.
