Xinyu Liu Research Associate Professor, University of Notre Dame, USA. Xinyu Liu is currently a Research Associate Professor at the University of Notre Dame conducting research on spin-based processes in semiconductors and their nanostructures. Prior to his current role, he worked at the University of Notre Dame as a post-doc and research assistant, focusing on magnetic semiconductors and ferromagnetic semiconductor materials. Sanghoon Lee Professor, Korea University, Korea. Sanghoon Lee joined the Electrical Materials Engineering Department at Kwangwoon University as a faculty member (2000). At Kwangwoon University he founded the "spin functional semiconductor research center�. In 2001 he joined Korea University as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to the rank of Professor in 2008. His current research focuses on the spin related phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures, which include magnetic semiconductor materials growth, characterization of spin property, and semiconductor spin devices. For the last few years, he has served as the Department Chair and the Director of the BK21 plus project. Jacek K. Furdyna Professor, University of Notre Dame, USA. Jacek Furdyna is the Marquez Professor of Physics at the University of Notre Dame. Since the 1960s he has been studying semiconductors with special expertise on epitaxially grown semiconductors and their quantum structures. For the totality of his scientific accomplishments he was awarded honorary doctorates by Warsaw University in October 2002 and by Purdue University in May 2007. In 2009 he was awarded the Nicolaus Copernicus Medal by the Polish Academy of Sciences. Tengfei Luo Associate Professor, University of Notre Dame, USA. Dr. Luo joined Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering in 2012 as an assistant professor after finishing his postdoctoral research in MIT. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan State University and B.S. in Energy and Power Engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong University. Dr. Luo's research focuses on understanding fundamentals of nanoscale heat and mass transfer using computational and experimental techniques and applying the knowledge to the fields of renewable energy, microelectronics thermal management and water treatment. Yong Zhang Professor, University of Science and Technology Beijing, China. Dr. Yong Zhang is a scientist in the field of HE alloys and has published many research articles on HE alloys. The first body-centred cubic HE alloy was synthesised with high strength and entropy (HE). He is also a member of the amorphous Committee of the Metal Society, China Materials Research and Nuclear Materials Society. Dr Zhang participated in organizing the conference on HE alloys. He is also a guest professor at the North University of China. He has been selected as one thousand talents and has an excellent Ministry of Education talent program. He has edited albums of "Serration and Noise Behaviours in Advanced Materials� and "Nanostructured HE Alloys�. "The new advances in HE alloys�, bcc structured HE alloys, etc. Professor Zhang devoted himself to studying serration behaviour, high-throughput technology and collective effect in materials science.
