=== Xiangdong Ji ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: xiangdongli.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Xiangdong Ji: UMD Distinguished University Professor''']]
'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctoral positions at the California Institute of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.
</li>

=== Matthias Burkardt ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

[[File: simonettaliuti.png|thumb|left|250px| '''Simonetta Liuti: Research Professor, Theoretical Nuclear and Particle Physics at University of Virginia''']]
'''Dr. Simonetta Liuti'''
Professor Liuti´s research involves theoretical studies of the quark and gluon internal dynamics of the proton. The fundamental interactions of quarks and gluons are governed by the beautifully concise Lagrangian of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), however, to be able to understand the mechanisms generating the proton mass, spin, and mechanical properties in terms of quarks and gluons is one of the biggest challenges in physics today. Professor Liuti's work has been focused on understanding how the nucleon gets its spin from its fundamental degrees of freedom: is the orbital motion of quarks and gluons relevant and how do we describe it in QCD? The theoretical tools that allows us to obtain information on angular momentum and other mechanical properties including pressure and shear are the 3D parton distributions or the Wigner distributions at the femtoscale. A new generation of current and planned experiments at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) could in principle allow us to incorporate all the information from data and phenomenology into a tomographic image connecting the deepest part of the quantum world with what we see as everyday matter around us. Accessing this new type of knowledge has far-reaching consequences as it could even impact our understanding of the interior of neutron stars.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service-oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: Kresimir-Kumericki.jpeg|thumb|left|250px| '''Krešimir Kumerički: Associate Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Science University of Zagreb (Department of Physics)''']]
'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavor change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers a novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for an explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses, and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at the undergraduate and doctoral levels.

=== Xiangdong Ji ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: xiangdongli.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Xiangdong Ji: UMD Distinguished University Professor''']]
'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.
</li>

=== Matthias Burkardt ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: simonettaliuti.png|thumb|left|250px| '''Simonetta Liuti: Research Professor, Theoretical Nuclear and Particle Physics at University of Virginia''']]
'''Dr. Simonetta Liuti'''
Professor Liuti´s research involves theoretical studies of the quark and gluon internal dynamics of the proton. The fundamental interactions of quarks and gluons are governed by the beautifully concise Lagrangian of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), however, to be able to understand the mechanisms generating the proton mass, spin and mechanical properties in terms of quarks and gluons is one of the biggest challenges in physics today. Professor Liuti's work has been focused on understanding how the nucleon gets its spin from its fundamental degrees of freedom: is the orbital motion of quarks and gluons relevant and how do we describe it in QCD? The theoretical tools that allows us to obtain information on angular momentum and other mechanical properties including pressure and shear are the 3D parton distributions, or the Wigner distributions at the femtoscale. A new generation of current and planned experiments at the future Electron Ion Collider (EIC) could in principle allow us to incorporate all the information from data and phenomenology into a tomographic image connecting the deepest part of the quantum world with what we see as everyday matter around us. Accessing this new type of knowledge has far reaching consequences as it could even impact our understanding of the interior of neutron stars.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: Kresimir-Kumericki.jpeg|thumb|left|250px| '''Krešimir Kumerički: Associate Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Science University of Zagreb (Department of Physics)''']]
'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

=== Xiangdong Ji ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: xiangdongli.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Xiangdong Ji: UMD Distinguished University Professor''']]
'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.
</li>

=== Matthias Burkardt ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.
</li>

=== Simonetta Liuti ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: simonettaliuti.png|thumb|left|250px| '''Simonetta Liuti: Research Professor, Theoretical Nuclear and Particle Physics at University of Virginia''']]
'''Dr. Simonetta Liuti'''
Professor Liuti´s research involves theoretical studies of the quark and gluon internal dynamics of the proton. The fundamental interactions of quarks and gluons are governed by the beautifully concise Lagrangian of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), however, to be able to understand the mechanisms generating the proton mass, spin and mechanical properties in terms of quarks and gluons is one of the biggest challenges in physics today. Professor Liuti's work has been focused on understanding how the nucleon gets its spin from its fundamental degrees of freedom: is the orbital motion of quarks and gluons relevant and how do we describe it in QCD? The theoretical tools that allows us to obtain information on angular momentum and other mechanical properties including pressure and shear are the 3D parton distributions, or the Wigner distributions at the femtoscale. A new generation of current and planned experiments at the future Electron Ion Collider (EIC) could in principle allow us to incorporate all the information from data and phenomenology into a tomographic image connecting the deepest part of the quantum world with what we see as everyday matter around us. Accessing this new type of knowledge has far reaching consequences as it could even impact our understanding of the interior of neutron stars.

=== David Heddle ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: davidheddle.png|thumb|left|250px| '''David Heddle: Nuclear physicist/Professor at Christopher Newport University''']]
'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

=== Krešimir Kumerički ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: Kresimir-Kumericki.jpeg|thumb|left|250px| '''Krešimir Kumerički: Associate Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Science University of Zagreb (Department of Physics)''']]
'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

=== Nicholas Polys ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File:NPolys_VATech.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Nicholas Polys: Director of Visual Computing Virginia Tech Advanced Research Computing and Dept Computer Science''']]
Dr. Nicholas Polys heads the ARC Visualization Group. He has developed interactive 3D graphic content and systems for over 13 years. His research interests lie at the heart of Human Computer Interaction: the intersection of visualization, virtual environments, and perception.
After his undergraduate research in Cognitive Science at Vassar College (1996), he jumped into the networked information space of the WWW developing audio, visual, and 3D assets and software. His doctoral work at Virginia Tech (2006) examined perceptual cues and layout behaviors for Information-Rich Virtual Environments for desktop to immersive platforms.
He is a member of ACM, IEEE Computer Society, and the Web3D Consortium. He is a co-author of the international standard (ISO) Extensible 3D (X3D), an elected Director of the Web3D Consortium, and Chair of the Web3D User Interface Working Group. Nicholas also holds a position as an Affiliate Professor in Virginia Tech's Computer Science Department.

'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.

[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

[[File: xiangdongli.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Xiangdong Ji: UMD Distinguished University Professor''']]
'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.

=== Matthias Burkardt ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.

=== Matthias Burkardt ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

'''Dr. Charles Hyde''' served as co-spokesperson of seven past (E93-050, E99-114, E00-110, E03-106), present (E07-007, E08-025), and future 12 GeV (E12-06-114) experiments at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News VA. His Research is in nuclear physics, focussed on the topic of Compton Scattering from the proton. In this process he uses one high energy photon to hit a proton, and with a second photon we take a picture of the wiggling internal structure of the proton.
Presently, he is focussing on creating 3-D images of the quarks and gluons inside the proton and the atomic nucleus by the "Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering" reaction.
A technical summary can be found at http://hallaweb.jlab.org/experiment/DVCS/
He is also active in developing the design and physics motivation for a future Electron-Ion Collider. His research is currently funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, the National Science Foundation and Brookhaven National Laboratory

'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.

=== Matthias Burkardt ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses.

<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: xiangdongli.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Xiangdong Ji: UMD Distinguished University Professor''']]
'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.

=== Matthias Burkardt ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

[[File: Kresimir-Kumericki.jpeg|thumb|left|250px| '''Krešimir Kumerički: Associate Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Science University of Zagreb (Department of Physics)''']]
'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

'''Dr. Charles Hyde''' served as co-spokesperson of seven past (E93-050, E99-114, E00-110, E03-106), present (E07-007, E08-025), and future 12 GeV (E12-06-114) experiments at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News VA. His Research is in nuclear physics, focussed on the topic of Compton Scattering from the proton. In this process he uses one high energy photon to hit a proton, and with a second photon we take a picture of the wiggling internal structure of the proton.
Presently, he is focussing on creating 3-D images of the quarks and gluons inside the proton and the atomic nucleus by the "Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering" reaction.
A technical summary can be found at http://hallaweb.jlab.org/experiment/DVCS/
He is also active in developing the design and physics motivation for a future Electron-Ion Collider. His research is currently funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, the National Science Foundation and Brookhaven National Laboratory
Previous funding includes the French CNRS/IN2P3 and ANR.

[[File: xiangdongli.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Xiangdong Ji: UMD Distinguished University Professor''']]
'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.

=== Matthias Burkardt ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

[[File: Kresimir-Kumericki.jpeg|thumb|left|250px| '''Krešimir Kumerički: Associate Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Science University of Zagreb (Department of Physics)''']]
'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996. He is a fellow of American Physical Society (since 2000) and a recipient of the 2003 oversea outstanding young Chinese scientist award from the National Science Foundation of China.

=== Matthias Burkardt ===
<li style="display: inline-block;">
[[File: MatthiasBurkardt.jpg|thumb|left|250px| '''Matthias Burkardt: Distinguished Achievement Professor at New Mexico State University''']]
'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

His Research is in nuclear physics, focussed on the topic of Compton Scattering from the proton. In this process he uses one high energy photon to hit a proton, and with a second photon we take a picture of the wiggling internal structure of the proton.
Presently, he is focussing on creating 3-D images of the quarks and gluons inside the proton and the atomic nucleus by the "Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering" reaction.

'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

'''Dr. Charles Hyde''' served as co-spokesperson of seven past (E93-050, E99-114, E00-110, E03-106), present (E07-007, E08-025), and future 12 GeV (E12-06-114) experiments at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News VA. His Research is in nuclear physics, focussed on the topic of Compton Scattering from the proton. In this process he uses one high energy photon to hit a proton, and with a second photon we take a picture of the wiggling internal structure of the proton.
Presently, he is focussing on creating 3-D images of the quarks and gluons inside the proton and the atomic nucleus by the "Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering" reaction.

'''Dr. Xiangdong Ji''' received his B.S. from Tongji University and his Ph.D. in 1987 from Drexel University. His research includes theoretical studies of the nucleon structure in Quantum Chromodynamics and experimental search for Dark Matter particles using liquid xenon technology. He had post-doctorial positions at the California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), was a junior faculty at MIT from 1991 to 1996.

'''Dr. Matthias Burkardt''' earned his PhD in Erlangen, Germany in 1989. His primary research interest is in non-perturbative strong interaction physics and the quark/gluon (=parton) structure of hadrons and nuclei. He is particularly interested in understanding the role of non-perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) from medium energy to high-energy scattering experiments.
Within this area, the main focus of his recent research has been to better understand what one can actually learn from these experiments and/or related calculations. More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

His Research is in nuclear physics, focussed on the topic of Compton Scattering from the proton. In this process he uses one high energy photon to hit a proton, and with a second photon we take a picture of the wiggling internal structure of the proton. An introduction to this subject for a general audience can be found on his Web Poster on Virtual Compton Scattering.
Presently, he is focussing on creating 3-D images of the quarks and gluons inside the proton and the atomic nucleus by the "Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering" reaction.

More specifically, even though mathematical expressions in terms of matrix elements of complicated operators exist to describe the outcome of a certain experiment, the complicated nature of these matrix elements often obscures the intuitive physical interpretation of results from both experiments as well as numerical simulations.

'''Dr. David Heddle''' received his Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from Carnegie Mellon University under Professor Leonard Kisslinger. His dissertation was in nuclear theory; he calculated hypernuclear decay rates in a quark model. He was a postdoctoral associate at the University of Maryland and a research physicist at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he switched his focus from nuclear theory to accelerator physics under the supervision of Larry Cardman. He came to JLab in 1989 through a joint appointment with Christopher Newport University. After some work in accelerator physics at JLab, primarily in designing a Wien Filter for rotating polarized electrons, he joined the Physics Division and Hall B. His contributions in Hall B have been in a variety of software efforts, including visualization, noise finding, and service oriented architecture. From 2011 until May of 2013 he was the chair of the Mathematics Department at CNU.

'''Dr. Krešimir Kumerički''' defended his PhD thesis “Rare decays of K mesons” (supervisor Ivica Picek) in 1998. The focus of his research at that time was interplay of electroweak and QCD effects in various decays involving quark flavour change. In the meantime, after longer stay at Universities of Oslo and Regensburg (2005-2006), his interest shifted to studies of quark-gluon structure of nucleon as encoded by so called generalized parton distributions. This offers novel three-dimensional picture of the nucleon structure, studied at many present (CERN, Jlab) and future experimental facilities (electron-ion collider, EIC). He pioneered application of neural networks in these studies. He is also involved in studies of Large Hadron Collider phenomenology of various extensions of Standard model, in particular those that aim for explanation of small neutrino masses. He authored 29 journal papers which are cited more than 600 times (according to inSPIRE).
He was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor of Physics at the University of Zagreb in 2011, has mentored 10 diploma theses and is presently mentoring a PhD thesis. He teaches particle physics at undergraduate and doctoral level.

Eminent Scholar and University Professor of Physics''']]
'''Dr. Charles Hyde''' served as co-spokesperson of seven past (E93-050, E99-114, E00-110, E03-106), present (E07-007, E08-025), and future 12 GeV (E12-06-114) experiments at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Newport News VA. His Research is in nuclear physics, focussed on the topic of Compton Scattering from the proton. In this process he uses one high energy photon to hit a proton, and with a second photon we take a picture of the wiggling internal structure of the proton. An introduction to this subject for a general audience can be found on his Web Poster on Virtual Compton Scattering.
Presently, he is focussing on creating 3-D images of the quarks and gluons inside the proton and the atomic nucleus by the "Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering" reaction.
A technical summary can be found at http://hallaweb.jlab.org/experiment/DVCS/
He is also active in developing the design and physics motivation for a future Electron-Ion Collider. His research is currently funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science, the National Science Foundation and Brookhaven National Laboratory
Previous funding includes the French CNRS/IN2P3 and ANR.
