Antonio Moro is Associate Professor at the Department of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics of the University of Seville (Spain). He works in theoretical nuclear physics, with emphasis in the description of the structure and reactions of weakly-bound and exotic nuclei. He obtained his PhD at the University of Seville (2001). Then, he moved to the Technical University of Lisbon where he worked as a postdoctoral fellow. In 2004, he returned to the University of Seville with a research contract, and in 2010 he became associate professor at this University. Much of his research work has been performed in close collaboration with experimental groups, participating actively in the interpretation of nuclear reaction data measured at several radioactive beam facilities, such as ISOLDE (CERN), GANIL (France), RIBRAS (Brazil), Notre Dame (USA) and RIBF-RIKEN (Japan). At present, A.M. Moro is member of the INTC committee (ISOLDE/n_TOF) and the B-PAC of the RCNP facility at Osaka University.
I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Institut fur Kernphysik, at TU Darmstadt. I obtained my PhD in 2018 at the Departamento de Fisica Atomica, Molecular y Nuclear at the University of Seville. My interest field is direct nuclear reaction theory, with a focus in nucleon-removal reactions on nuclei near the driplines at low and intermediate energies.
I am currently working in the theory group of the Institute for Nuclear Physics of the Johannes-Gutenberg University Mainz (Germany). I work in nuclear-reaction theory on the development of models of reactions involving halo nuclei and the analysis of measurements with the goal of improving our understanding of the structure of these exotic systems. After engineering studies in Brussels and Paris, I have obtained my PhD from the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in 2004. I have held a few post-doctoral positions in Canada (TRIUMF theory group) and in the US (NSCL theory group at MSU) before obtaining a permanent position in Brussels. I have moved to Germany in 2018.

Jutta Escher got her Ph.D. in theoretical nuclear physics from Louisiana State University, where she developed group-theoretical descriptions of nuclear structure. After postdoc positions at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (Israel) and at TRIUMF in Vancouver (Canada), she took a staff position at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Her current focus is on developing indirect methods for determining cross sections for reactions involving unstable nuclei, as these play a crucial role for understanding stellar evolution and the origin of the elements. Here, her goal is to achieve microscopic descriptions of the reaction mechanisms involved and to enable indirect measurements at both stable-beam and radioactive beam facilities, such as the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Jutta remains interested in applying group-theoretical ideas to nuclear structure and reaction problems. She initiated the international workshop series 'Compound-Nuclear Reactions and Related Topics' (CNR*) and has (co)organized several other scientific meetings. Currently, she serves on the Executive Board of the FRIB Theory Alliance. In 2019, Jutta was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society.
Charlotte Elster is a theoretical nuclear physicist. Her early research on the strong force between nucleons (i.e. protons and neutrons) has set the stage for her current research on nuclei made up of few protons and neutrons. Although much is now known about the strong forces between pairs of nucleons, there is much to learn about their dynamical roles in nuclei with many nucleons. Nuclei with only few neutrons and protons, the few-body systems, are small enough to be accurately modeled yet complex enough to present great challenges. To unveil the mechanisms through which few-body systems are built, Elster employs high-performance computing methods using powerful supercomputers consisting of hundreds of processors to carry out complex modeling tasks. She has always been interested in using supercomputers to the limits, and in her research has developed new numerical tools to accurately model few-body systems. In addition she uses her experience in describing few-body systems to model nuclear reactions. In 2001, Elster was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (Few-Body Systems and Multi-Particle Dynamics) 'for her significant contributions to the understanding of the nucleon-nucleon interaction and its applications in few-body systems and nuclear reactions.' Elster's way to stay fit for her job is figure skating in which she combines physics and geometry to mutual advantage. She regularly practices her jumps and spins at Ohio University's Bird Arena during early morning hours.
