Prof. Satoshi Chiba

Professor
Tokyo Institute of Technology
Japan

Dr. Satoshi Chiba born in Sendai City, Japan. Dr. Satoshi is a professor of Tokyo Institute of Technology. He served as a Principal Researcher in Japan Atomic Energy at Tokai, Japan during 1999-2010 and as Senior Principal Researcher from 2010-2012. Dr. Satoshi Chiba and team study nuclear reactions as a fundamental process underlying nuclear energy. Neutron-induced reaction is the source of energy in nuclear reactors, while it serves as origin of elements such as Uranium and Thorium in the cosmos. Understanding of nuclear reactions is, therefore, basis for safe usage of nuclear energy as well as comprehending nature itself. Theoretical and computational studies are the main research style, but have a close connection with JAEA for sophisticated experimental activities involving fissionable nuclei.

Professor
Department of Physics
University of La Plata
Argentina

Prof. Osvaldo Civitarese (01/06/1948) studied at the University of La Plata, Argentina (best Ph.D thesis of the year (1974)). In 1975 he went to the Niels Bohr Institute of Denmark, and in 1979 to the IKP-Julich (Alexander von Humboldt fellowship). He has studied several problems related to heavy ion collisions, nuclear structure of spherical and deformed nuclei and projection methods in quantum many body physics and in atomic physics. In 1985 he obtained his full professorship at the University of La Plata. Since 1985 he has worked there, been the advisor to a large number of Ph.D students and Physics Diploma students, and lectured on graduate and undergraduate courses. He was chairman of the Physics Department for twice in (1988/1989) and (2005/2006). He was a member of the directorate of the Argentina Physical Society (AFA). In 1990 he worked as a visiting professor at the University of Tuebingen (Germany) and in 1998 he got a similar position at the University of Osaka. With the support of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (Germany) and the Finnish Academy of Science he has visited regularly the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland, to work on the theory of nuclear double beta decay. In 1995 he was a member of the Mexican Academy of Science. Presently he is involved in the ANDES project, which is the initiative related to the construction of an underground laboratory in South America (Province of San Juan, Argentina).

Dr. Gabor Gyula Kiss

Scientist
Riken Nishina Center
Japan

Dr. Gabor Gyula Kiss earned his Ph.D in experimental nuclear astrophysics in 2008, the subject of his thesis was charged particle induced cross section measurements. Between 2009 and 2011 Dr. Kiss spent two years at INFN-LNS, Catania, Italy as a postdoctoral researcher. During these years he studied many astrophysically important reactions using indirect techniques - such as the Trojan Horse Method and the Asymptotic Normalization Coefficient technique. Dr. Kiss worked later at Atomki, Debrecen, Hungary on the investigation of the astrophysical gamma process, Dr. Kiss performed several elastic alpha scattering & alpha capture experiments. At the moment Dr. Kiss is visiting scientist at RIKEN Nishina Center (Wakoshi, Saitama, Japan). Dr. Kiss is working on the BRIKEN project - which focuses on beta delayed neutron emission probability measurements along the r-process path using the world largest 3He-counter array. He is also interested in the experimental investigation of the astrophysical rp-process using the rare ion beams of RIKEN: Dr. Kiss studied several extreme proton-rich isotopes in the Ge-Kr region using the Eurica array and He is involved into the Samurai HI-p collaboration.Dr. Kiss is author or co-author of about 65 publications (in more than 10 I'm the first author) with about 900 citations and h-index of 19. Dr. Kiss give talks regularly on international conferences. Furthermore, he participated in the organization (scientific secretary, editor of the proceedings/abstract booklet, member of the loc) of several national and international conferences including the Nuclei in the Cosmos - which is the most important conference in nuclear astrophysics.
