Backerra has graduated in theoretical physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands and worked for three years at Philips Research Laboratories. She continued independently, making a search for complementary physics. To develop a way of complementary thinking she studied composition at the Conservatory in Enschede and in Saint Petersburg (Russia). After that she constructed a complementary mathematical language and applied this on physics, obtaining twin physics. The surprisingly diverse results are published in 14 papers in Physical Essays, Applied Physics Research, Advances in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Int. J. of Nanotechnology & Nanomedicine, Nano Progress and Acta Scientific Medical Sciences. The results about magnetism, seen in a broad perspective, gave rise to the establishment of an institute, fully dedicated to the theoretical as well as applied investigation of related subjects.

Takashiro Akitsu is Professor of Chemistry at Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science Division II, Tokyo University of Science, Japan since 2016. He graduated from Department of Chemistry, Osaka University in 1995. By studying crystal and electronic structures of chiral copper complexes, he obtained his Ph.D. from from Osaka University in 2000. Dr. Akitsu studied at the Institute for Protein Research (metalloproteins), Department of Chemistry, Keio University (photo and magnetic functional organic/inorganic hybrid compounds), and Department of Chemistry at Stanford University (physical and bioinorganic chemistry) before moving to Tokyo University of Science. He has published about 220 articles and book chapters. He has also served as an editorial board member and peer reviewer for many journals and was involved in the organizing committees for international conferences. His research field is inorganic coordination chemistry and crystalography. His research interest is hybrid materials of (Schiff base) metal complexes and other (photo-)funtional materials such as polymers, dyes or proteins.

Dr. Yong Zhang is a scientist in the field of High entropy alloys (HEAs) and has published more than 300 research articles. The first body-centred cubic (bcc) HEA was synthesised with high strength and entropy. He is also a committee member of the amorphous Metals Society, China Materials Research and Nuclear Materials Society. Dr Zhang participated in organizing many conferences on HEAs. He is also a guest professor at the North Minzu University of China. He has been selected as one thousand talents and new century excellent talent of the Ministry of Education. He has edited albums of “Serration and Noise Behaviours in Advanced Materials” and “Nanostructured HEAs”. “The new advances in HEAs”, “bcc structured HEAs”, etc. Professor Zhang devoted himself to studying serration behaviour, high-throughput technology and collective effect in materials science.

Prof. Dr. Cees Ronda studied inorganic and theoretical chemistry at the State University of Groningen, the Netherlands. He also obtained his Ph-D from this University. His research dealt with optical absorption, magnetic susceptibility, and MCD spectroscopy on giant magnetic spin clusters in MnI2:Ni and in charge density waves in (V,Cr)Se2. In addition, he worked on luminescence, photoconductivity and photographic phenomena in some layered metal dihalides. After obtaining his Ph-D, he joined Philips Research, where he has been working on luminescent materials, water- and air purification, sensors and oral health care solutions. One of the results obtained was the clarification of the luminescence mechanism operating in Zn2SiO4: , that turned out the be exchange induced. The influence of magnetic interactions on the luminescence of Ce3+ in some garnets was studied as well. Cees Ronda was a professor at Utrecht University, the Netherlands (optical materials) and Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China (optical Physics). While at Philips, he was also responsible for large co-operations in Russia and China.

Dr. Fernando Gomes is an academic expert in materials science. He completed a Ph.D. in Polymer Science and Technology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 2006 and a postdoctoral position in the Chemical Engineering Program at COPPE/UFRJ in 2008. Currently, he holds prestigious positions as Associate Professor IV at the Institute of Macromolecules of UFRJ and Full Professor in the Nanotechnology Engineering Program at COPPE/UFRJ since 2019. His contributions have been recognized through various awards and distinctions, including the Young Scientist of Rio de Janeiro State in 2015 and Scientist of Rio de Janeiro State in 2021. His research focuses primarily on polymer nanocomposites derived from renewable resources, aiming to develop innovative applications across industries. With 220 articles in scientific journals, 13 books, and 25 book chapters to his credit, his work has received widespread recognition, amassing significant citations and an impressive H-index. Beyond his research, he is deeply committed to mentoring students, supervising numerous Master's dissertations and Ph.D. theses, and contributing to academic journals as Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor. His leadership extends to organizing conferences and symposiums, including the Brazil - India - Cuba - China - United Kingdom (BIC²UK) Conference on Nanomaterials and Machine Learning and the 1st Brazilian Symposium on Nanotechnology Engineering. His dedication to advancing knowledge and nurturing future researchers underscores his invaluable role in the scientific community.
