Walter Reimers is professor for metallic materials at the Technical University of Berlin, Germany. Prior to this appointment, he directed the Structural Research Division of the Hahn-Meitner Institute, also in Berlin. His research interests lie in metallic and metalloceramic materials production, their microstructural analysis and physical, chemical and mechanical properties determination.

Anke Pyzalla has recently moved to the Max Planck Institute for Iron Research in Dseldorf, Germany after holding a professorship for materials use, joining technology and component testing at the Technical University of Vienna, Austria. Residual stress analysis, diffraction of neutron and synchrotron radiation, and tomographic materials characterization are her main interests.

Andreas Schreyer is professor at Hamburg University, Germany, as well as director of the Department of Materials Characterisation with Neutron and Synchrotron Radiation at Geesthacht Research Centre (GKSS). His research interests include magnetic nanostructures, engineering materials science and instrumentation for neutron and synchrotron radiation sources.

Professor Helmut Clemens is professor at the Department of Physical Metallurgy and Materials Testing at Leoben University, Austria. His prior appointments include directorship of the Institute for Materials Research at GKSS. His research interests focus on metallic high temperature materials, intermetallics, and microstructure-property relationships in materials.
