Igor Aharonovich
UTS, Australia
Invited – Workshop 6: Photonics, Plasmonics and Phononics
Igor Aharonovich is an award-winning scientist working on cutting-edge research into quantum sources that are able to generate, encode and distribute quantum information. A Professor in the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at UTS, Igor investigates optically active defects in solids, with the aim of identifying a new generation of ultra-bright solid state quantum emitters. He is a chief investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Transformative Meta-Optical Materials (TMOS), and leads an international collaboration investigating the chemical structure of crystal imperfections, or defects, in the nanomaterial hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). In 2013, he established the nanophotonics research group at UTS, was promoted to Associate Professor in 2015, and to a full Professor in 2018. His research group explores new quantum emitters in wide bandgap materials, with the aim of fabricating quantum nanophotonic devices on a single chip for the next generation of quantum computing, cryptography and bio-sensing. In 2016, Igor and his team discovered the first quantum emitters in 2D materials that operate at room temperature based on defects in hBN. He has co-authored more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, including one of the most cited reviews on diamond photonics. He has also written a road map for solid state single-photon sources. In 2019, Igor co-founded the inaugural online photonics conference, Photonics Online Meetup, which attracted more than 1100 attendees from around the world, and which was highlighted by top science outlets. The conference now runs twice a year. Igor has received several international awards including the Pawsey Medal (2017), the IEEE Photonics Young Investigator Award (2016) and in 2020 he was the recipient of the Kavli Foundation Early Career Lectureship in Materials Science from Materials Research Society. In 2021, he became a Fellow of the Optical Society (OSA), and in 2024 elected as a fellow of SPIE.

Sergio O. Valenzuela
ICN2, Spain
Invited – Plenary Session
Sergio Valenzuela obtained his PhD in Physics in 2001 at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina) and held research positions at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Since July 2008 he has been an ICREA Research Professor and leader of the ICN2 Physics and Engineering of Nanodevices Group. His research is focused on the unique properties of materials with nanoscale dimensions, motivated by both their intrinsic scientific interest and their potential for advanced electronic applications. His work encompasses spintronics, quantum computation with superconducting circuits and quantum metrology. Together with his collaborators, he has pioneered the use of non- local devices to study the spin Hall effect and of thermopiles to isolate the magnon drag in ferromagnetic materials, and he has implemented novel qubit control and spectroscopy methods.

Kenji Yasuda
Cornell University, USA
Invited – Workshop 1: Twistronics, Moiré Physics and Topological Phenomena
Prof. Kenji Yasuda earned his Ph.D. in Applied Physics in 2018 from the University of Tokyo, where he discovered various spintronic functionalities in magnetic topological insulator thin films. He then moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he pioneered the field of artificial ferroelectrics based on van der Waals heterostructures. He joined the School of Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell as an assistant professor in 2024. The Yasuda lab designs quantum nanomaterials and heterostructures to explore novel physical properties and functionalities. Prof. Yasuda has received numerous honors and awards, including MRS Postdoctoral Award.
