Prof. Dr. Gerd Graßhoff is Professor at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and served as Director of the Excellence Cluster Topoi (2010–2019). He leads interdisciplinary research on ancient science, coordinating projects that span Babylonian astronomy, Greco-Roman scientific instruments, Ptolemaic geography, and the epistemology of spatial knowledge. His research integrates philological analysis of cuneiform and classical sources with modern digital techniques such as 3-D scanning and GIS to reconstruct ancient scientific practices and their conceptual frameworks. Key Themes: Mathematical astronomy in Babylonia History and function of ancient sundials Geographical concepts in Ptolemy’s work Causal reasoning and empirical methods in antiquity Globalization and transmission of ancient knowledge Across more than fifty publications since 2010—including monographs, edited volumes, and journal articles—Graßhoff has advanced the study of how ancient cultures observed, measured, and theorized space and time. His work repeatedly combines meticulous source analysis with innovative digital documentation. Scientific Outreach & Awards: While formal awards are not listed in the supplied text, Graßhoff has organized numerous high-profile conferences and workshops (e.g., the annual Topoi Jahrestagungen, specialized sundial workshops, and international colloquia at venues such as ETH Zürich), demonstrating sustained scholarly leadership and recognition. Teams, Labs & Projects: He heads or co-heads several Topoi research groups including Forum – Spatial Data Analysis (A-SDA) Space of Nature (D-5) From Technology to Science: Knowledge Transfer in Antiquity (D-6) Atlas of Innovations (hosting the Key Topic Innovation) These groups bring together doctoral researchers, post-docs, and international guests to generate digital editions, 3-D reconstructions, and theoretical analyses of ancient scientific artefacts.

Sara Carena is a Senior Lecturer and Senior Scientist at the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU). As part of the Faculty of Geology, she specializes in Structural Geology, Active Tectonics, and 3D Modeling. Her role includes managing the Geological Remote Sensing Facility and Analog Modeling Laboratory. Education: 2014: Habilitation in Geology, LMU Munich 2003: Ph.D., Princeton University, USA 1995: Laurea (M.Sc.), State University of Milano, Italy Research Interests: Her research focuses on understanding active tectonic processes, particularly in regions like Taiwan, the Eastern California Shear Zone, and the Makran subduction zone. Key areas include: 3D fault modeling using seismic and remote-sensing data Coulomb stress evolution and earthquake interactions Dynamic topography and its links to mantle flow Long-term vertical motion patterns in continental regions Teaching and Innovation: She has pioneered virtual field trips (VFTs) for geoscience education, including dual-language trips to Spain and the US. These VFTs use photogrammetry and 3D modeling to enhance student learning. She also created the 'Creating 3D Hand Samples' webinar, recognized with the 2021 LMU Lehrinnovationspreis. Labs and Facilities: As manager of the Geological Remote Sensing Facility and Analog Modeling Laboratory, she supports advanced geophysical and structural analysis tools like SKUA-GOCAD for 3D modeling.

Dr. Robert Trampel is a Research Scientist in the Neurophysics Department at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany, where he has been employed since 2007. Academic Background 1995-1997: Intermediate diploma in physics, Technical University Dresden 1997-2000: Diploma in physics, University of Leipzig 2000-2003: Ph.D. in physics, Max Planck Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, Leipzig Research Expertise Dr. Trampel specializes in developing and applying advanced magnetic resonance imaging techniques with particular focus on ultra-high field MRI physics and neuroimaging applications. His work bridges fundamental physics with neuroscience to advance brain imaging methodologies. Ultra-High Field MRI (7T and above) development and applications Diffusion imaging techniques including diffusion kurtosis imaging Arterial spin labeling for non-invasive cerebral blood flow measurement Cerebral blood volume mapping during neural activation Methodological innovations in MRI physics and hardware design Publication Trends Dr. Trampel's 12 publications (2002-2016) demonstrate a clear trajectory from fundamental MRI physics (early work on gradient coils and spin inversion) to more applied neuroimaging research (cerebral blood volume, brain structure in congenital blindness). His 2016 review article highlights his expertise in ultra-high field MRI applications for brain research, showing how his methodological innovations translate to biological insights. Collaborative Network His extensive collaborations with researchers including R. Turner, A. Schäfer, and D. Norris indicate strong integration within the international neuroimaging community and suggest leadership in methodological development within the Max Planck Institute.
