Prof. Otani has published over 350 technical articles in peer-reviewed journals, including book chapters and review articles, and has given more than 100 invited and plenary presentations at international conferences. He has coordinated the Japanese MEXT supporting the 5-year “Nano Spin Conversion Science” project since 2014 to elucidate the interconversion mechanisms among phonon, photon, magnon, and electrons. He was also a committee member of C.9 magnetism of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics from 2011 to 2017 and vice chair from 2018 to 2021. He is a member of the IEEE Magnetics Society. Since 2022, he has been heading the Franco-Japanese research project developing the “magnon-phonon transducer” as a LANEF chair of Excellence at the University of Grenoble Alpes.

Pedram Khalili is Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northwestern University, where he is Director of the Physical Electronics Research Laboratory, and Director of Graduate Studies of the Applied Physics Program. Pedram received the B.Sc. degree from Sharif University of Technology (Iran) in 2004, and the Ph.D. degree (cum laude) from Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) in 2008, both in electrical engineering. Prior to joining Northwestern, he was an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Pedram received the Northwestern ECE department’s Best Teacher Award in 2020. He serves on the Editorial Boards of Multifunctional Materials and Journal of Physics: Photonics (IOP), and is a member of the Flash Memory Summit conference advisory board. Pedram is Chair of the Chicago Chapter of the IEEE Magnetics Society, and represents the IEEE Magnetics Society on the IEEE Task Force for Rebooting Computing (TFRC) Executive Committee. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE.

Teruo Ono received the B.S., M.S., and D.Sc. from Kyoto University in 1991, 1993, and 1996, respectively. After a one year stay as a postdoctoral associate at Kyoto University, he moved to Keio University where he became an assistant professor. In 2000, he moved to Osaka University where he became a lecturer and an associate professor. Since 2004, he has been working at Kyoto University, where he is now a professor. He has published over 400 technical articles in peer-reviewed journals, including book chapters and review articles, and has given more than 140 invited presentations at international conferences.

The IEEE Magnetics Society is the leading international professional organization for magnetism and related professional throughout the world. The IEEE Magnetics Society promotes the advancement of science, technology, applications and training in magnetism. It fosters presentation and exchange of information among  its members and within the global technical community, including education and training of young enginneers and scientists, It seeks to nurture positive interactions between all national and regional societies acting in the field of magnetism.
