Ion Errea, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), Spain
Ion Errea is an Associate Professor at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), specializing in the theoretical study of complex properties in solid-state systems. He leads the Quantum Theory of Materials research group at the Materials Physics Center (CSIC-UPV/EHU). His work focuses on developing advanced computational methods to explore quantum and anharmonic effects in atomic vibrations, electron-phonon interactions, and their role in phenomena such superconductivity, thermoelectricity, and phase transitions in solids and nanostructures. He has devoted a large part of his career to the characterization and discovery of high-pressure hydrogen-based superconductors.
Sébastien Merkel, Université de Lille, France
S. Merkel is a professor at the Université de Lille, France, since 2010.
His research focuses on understanding the dynamics and formation of the deeper portions of the Earth and planets by performing in-situ high pressure / high temperature experiments to study microstructures in polycrystals, their mechanical behaviour, and phase transformations. He is currently the PI of the ERC HotCores project, which aims to reenact key events of the history of the Earth's inner core in the laboratory.
