He is member, Chair of the Class of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, and Vice President of the Academy of Sciences and Literature, Mainz. He is member of the National Academy of Science and Engineering (acatech) and member of the European Academy of Sciences (EurASc). He is IEEE Fellow, APS Fellow and Fellow of the Institute of Physics, London. In 2016 he received an ERC Advanced Grant of the European Commission. In 2023 he received the Achievement Award of the IEEE Magnetics Society. He served on the Administrative Committee of the IEEE Magnetics Society and was Honors&Awards Chair in 2013-2018. In 2018 to 2024 he was Chair and Member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), and also Member of the HZDR Supervisory Board. He has published more than 430 refereed articles, book contributions, and several patents.Dr. Alexander SergaAlexander Serga (a.k.a. Oleksandr Serha) received his Master's, Ph.D., and D.Sc. degrees in Radiophysics and Electronics from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in 1989, 1995, and 2006, respectively. From 1989 to 2004, he worked at the Faculty of Radio Physics of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv as an engineer, Assistant, D.Sc. Research Fellow, and Docent (Associate Professor). In 2001, Dr. Alexander Serga joined the Department of Physics at the Kaiserslautern University of Technology (Kaiserslautern, Germany) as a Research Associate, and in 2006 he took a permanent position as a Senior Research Associate. In 2009, he received his Habilitation degree in experimental physics and the academic title of Privatdocent at the Kaiserslautern University of Technology (since 2023 – Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau). His current research topics include spin-wave electrodynamics, magnonics, spintronics, spin caloritronics, functional microelectronics, magnon gases and magnon Bose–Einstein condensates, nonstationary nonlinear phenomena in magnetically ordered media at microwave frequencies, and other related areas.Dr. Denys MakarovDenys Makarov received his Master degree (2005) at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in Ukraine, followed by a Ph.D. in physics (2008) from the University of Konstanz in Germany. Currently, he is head of department “Intelligent materials and systems” at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and leads the Helmholtz Innovation Lab FlexiSens. With his activities, Denys Makarov made a decisive contribution to the development of curvilinear magnetism and stimulated research on spintronics on flexible, bendable and stretchable surfaces. Mechanically flexible and skin-conformal magnetic field sensors enable new application scenarios for human-machine interfaces, eMobility and medicine. These activities are supported via major national and European projects including ERC Starting Grant 2012 and ERC Advanced Grant 2024. Denys Makarov is Senior Member of the IEEE and Fellow of the Young Academy of Europe. Prof. Dr. Oleksandr ProkopenkoOleksandr Prokopenko received his Master degree (2002), Ph.D. in radio physics (2006), and D.Sc. in radio physics (2016) from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in Ukraine. Currently, he is a professor and chair of the “Nanophysics and Nanoelectronics” department at the Institute of High Technologies of Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. With his activities, Oleksandr Prokopenko made a decisive contribution to the development of the field of spintronic detectors and oscillators operating in the microwave and subterahertz bands and nanodevices based on these spintronic nanostructures. These activities are supported by many national and international projects. Oleksandr Prokopenko is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
