Alfred J. Meixner is a professor of physical chemistry and the director of the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen. He studied chemistry at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), where he received his PhD in 1988 and earned his habilitation in Physics from the University of Basel in 1996. His research interests are in optical single molecule spectroscopy, confocal and near-field optical laser-microscopy and optical nanospectroscopy.

Monika Fleischer is a professor of physics at the Institute for Applied Physics at Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen, where she studied physics and received her PhD in 2006. She held an invited professorship at the University of Technology of Troyes and serves on the board of directors of the Tübingen Center for Light-Matter-Interaction, Sensors and Analytics (LISA+). Her research focuses on plasmonic nanostructures, nanofabrication, and optical spectroscopy of hybrid nano-systems.

Dieter P. Kern is an emeritus professor of physics at the Institute for Applied Physics of the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen. He studied physics at the University of Tübingen, where he received his PhD in 1978. He then spent 15 years at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center working on exploratory devices and nanofabrication. In 1993 he initiated the Nanostructures and Nanofabrication chair in Tübingen with emphasis on interdisciplinary applications of nanostructure physics and technology.

Evgeniya Sheremet is currently a professor at the Research School of Chemical and Biomedical Sciences of Tomsk Polytechnic University. She studied nanotechnology in Novosibirsk State Technical University and received her PhD in 2015 in experimental physics for research in the field of nano-Raman spectroscopy. Her research interests lie in the area of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, Raman analysis and laser
