Dr. Vladymyrskyi is an Associate Professor of Metals Physics Department of National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute". He received his PhD degree from the same University in 2014. Research interests of Dr. Vladymyrskyi focus on structural phase transitions in nanoscale metallic layered thin films, diffusion and diffusion-controlled phenomena in these materials, their structural, magnetic and electrical properties. Recent works are devoted to thermally-induced diffusion formation of ferromagnetic L10 ordered thin films - e.g. L10-FePt, L10-FePd, L10-MnAl - promising materials for applications as magnetic recording medium with ultrahigh recording density or ferromagnetic electrodes of spintronic devices with an excellent functionality. Dr. Vladymyrskyi has coauthored about 30 papers in international peer-reviewed journals. He is a co-leader of a joint with Augsburg University (Germany) project "Cold homogenization of Fe/Pt based layered thin films induced by diffusion processes" funded by German Research Foundation (DFG).

Prof. Dr. Niarchos obtained his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Physics-Materials Science from National Kapodestrian University of Athens, Greece in 1972 and 1980 respectively. He holds also an MBA of R&D from Loyola University in 1985. From 1978 to 1981 he was IAEC Distinguish Post-Doctoral Researcher at Argonne National Lab and from 1981 to 1985 he was Assistant Professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, USA. He then moved to the Institute of Materials Science of the NCSR "Demokritos" in 1985 as Senior Researcher. He was promoted to the Director of Research (Grade A) researcher in 1992. From 1994-1999 he served as the Director of Institute of Materials Science of the NCSR "Demokritos" and from 1996-1999 he was elected as Vice President of the NCSR "Demokritos". From 2005-2010 he was elected as Director and President of the Board of the NCSR "Demokritos". He is studying magnetic materials for novel permanent magnets, ultrahigh recording media, magnetic memories, and magnetic micro-nanolaminated structures for UHF DC-DC converters. He is the author and co-author of more than 490 publications with more than 8000 citations and has managed more than 35 National and EU projects with a budget of approximately 12 MEURO. He had served as advisor for the Greek Government, NATO and the EC. He holds 6 patents related to nanomaterials, thermoelectrics and high entropy alloys for permanent magnets.
