Beatriz Jurado	#195: Nuclear fission at storage rings
LP2I - Université de Bourdeaux	I studied physics at the Universidad Autonoma of Madrid and I did my PhD at GSI in Darmstadt, Germany. After a two-year post-doc at GANIL in Caen, France, I was hired at the CNRS and moved to the CENBG laboratory in Bordeaux (now the LP2I).  My main interests are nuclear reactions, with a special focus on the development of indirect methods to measure neutron-induced cross sections of radioactive nuclei (in particular the surrogate-reaction method). I have also intensively worked on the understanding of nuclear fission via experiments and modelling. I have proposed the study of fission and surrogate reactions at heavy-ion storage rings, which will allow us to investigate nuclear reactions of very short-lived nuclei with unrivalled precision. In 2020 I was awarded with an ERC-Advanced grant for the development of this idea (the NECTAR project). I also work on the development of original detection systems for heavy ions based on the use of solar cells, which represent a very interesting alternative to Si detectors.

Luis Miguel Robledo	#87: Present status of the theoretical description of low energy nuclear structure
Autonomous University of Madrid	I am a professor in Nuclear Physics at Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, were I have developed most of my career in low energy nuclear structure.  I have mostly worked on mean field and beyond (including symmetry restoration and fluctuations on collective degrees of freedom) methods with non-relativistic phenomenological interactions of the Gogny type. I have devoted quite a long effort on the theoretical description of octupole correlations and in the last few years turned my attention to the dynamical evolution of a fissioning nucleus. I have also helped in the development of new effective interactions and/or parametrizations. In the last years I have explored quantum information tools like measures of entanglement to characterize nuclear correlations.

Yuval Shagam	#172: A new experiment to measure Parity violation in trapped chiral molecular ions
Technion	Yuval studied for his PhD at the Weizmann Institute of Science in the lab of Prof. Ed Narevicius. He researched quantum effects in cold chemistry down to millikelvin temperatures where the wave-like properties of a collision are enhanced, becoming observable in the lab. He won the thesis award in chemical physics from the American Physical Society for his work. In 2016, he moved to JILA, University of Colorado and NIST, as a postdoc with Prof. Eric Cornell and Prof. Jun Ye. He worked on precision spectroscopy of trapped molecular ions in search of a permanent electric dipole moment in an electron (eEDM). This search for CP violation is complementary to particle accelerator experiments which could help explain the matter/antimatter asymmetry observed in the universe. In 2021, he joined the Schulich faculty of chemistry at the Technion in Israel opening an independent research program.
Christoph Ternes	#131: Neutrino oscillation anomalies
INFN - Torino	I graduated from Universitat de València (Spain) in summer 2020, where I wrote my PhD thesis under the supervision of Mariam Tórtola. During my PhD I performed research stays at Fermilab (twice) in the USA, and at the Università di Torino (Italy). After finishing the PhD I became a postdoc at INFN Sezione di Torino and stayed there since then. My research is focused on neutrino physics, especially neutrino oscillation phenomenology. I perform data analyses (within in the standard model of particle physics and also beyond) of several types of neutrino experiments (apart from oscillation experiments, we use data from neutrino nucleus scattering experiments and from cosmological observations) to extract information about the properties of neutrinos. The results of my research have direct impact on particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics and Cosmology.
