Manuel Linares Alegret is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway, where he has been employed since September 2021. He also holds an Associate Professor position at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain, since 2018. His research focuses on high-energy astrophysics with particular emphasis on neutron stars, black holes, white dwarfs, and compact objects in binary systems. Dr. Linares earned his Physics Degree from Universitat de Barcelona (1998-2004) followed by a PhD in Astronomy from Universiteit van Amsterdam (2004-2009). His subsequent career includes prestigious fellowships including Rubicon Fellow at MIT (2009-2012), IAC Fellow (2012-2017), and Marie Curie Fellow at UPC (2017-2018). His research interests primarily center on compact binary systems, particularly millisecond pulsars known as 'spiders' (including black widows and redbacks), neutron star physics, accretion flows, thermonuclear bursts, and the search for super-massive neutron stars. His work combines observational astronomy with theoretical modeling to understand extreme physics in these systems. He leads the LOVE-NEST project, which investigates compact binary millisecond pulsars to find the most massive neutron stars and understand the interaction between accretion flows, pulsar winds, and neutron star magnetospheres. An analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on spider pulsar systems, with particular attention to mass measurements, orbital dynamics, irradiation effects, and the relationship between accretion and rotation-powered states. His work spans multiple observational wavelengths including optical, X-ray, and radio, often utilizing data from major telescopes and space observatories. ERC Consolidator Grant for LOVE-NEST project Marie Curie Fellow IAC Fellow Rubicon Fellow Dr. Linares has supervised numerous students at various levels, including PhD candidates, Master's students, and undergraduate research projects. He currently leads a substantial research team under the LOVE-NEST project, which has received 2M EUR in funding. His group includes multiple postdoctoral fellows and PhD candidates working on various aspects of compact object astrophysics. He teaches Observational Astrophysics (FY3215) at NTNU and has previously taught Quantum Physics and Physics I at UPC. He is the principal investigator of the LOVE-NEST (Looking for Super-Massive Neutron Stars) research group at NTNU, which focuses on compact binary millisecond pulsars. This team conducts research using multiple observational facilities worldwide and collaborates with international groups including those at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and the University of Manchester.

Dimitar Stefanov Dimitrov is a Professor at the Department of Natural History, University Museum of Bergen, University of Bergen. His research focuses on evolutionary biology with a background in arthropod systematics and evolution, particularly specializing in spiders, while also expanding to vascular plants and vertebrates. He teaches BIO332 Phylogenetic Methods and maintains active scholarly profiles on Google Scholar, ResearchGate, ORCID, and Web of Science. Dr. Dimitrov's research program aims to understand how evolutionary and ecological processes generate and maintain biodiversity through time and space. He combines species evolutionary histories, contemporary distributional data, historical distributions, and environmental factors to investigate the mechanisms underlying life's distribution on Earth. His work specifically examines factors governing biodiversity patterns at different spatial scales and species responses to climate change. This integrative approach assembles multiple pieces of a complex puzzle from species description to understanding gene-environment interactions. His recent publications (2023-2025) reveal a dual research focus: spider evolution/systematics and plant macroecology/macroevolution. In spider research, he investigates phylogenomics, diversification dynamics, adaptive radiations (particularly Hawaiian Tetragnatha), and orb-weaving spider evolution. In plant research, his work examines global angiosperm diversity patterns, floristic mapping, flowering plant evolution, and species richness-climate relationships. He has also developed bioinformatics tools like NCBIminer and PyNCBIminer for phylogenetic data assembly. Dr. Dimitrov is actively involved in research projects within two broad fields: systematics, macroecology and macroevolution of spiders (with focus on orb weavers and pholcids), and macroecology and macroevolution of seed plants. He participates in the BiGTREE project, a HKdir funded NORPART training network connecting Norway, Colombia, and Peru. His international collaborations span institutions worldwide including Peking University, University of Copenhagen, and Harvard University, supporting his global biodiversity research.

Professor Hans Kristian Eriksen is a leading cosmologist at the Institute of Theoretical Astrophysics, University of Oslo, specializing in primordial gravitational wave detection through cosmic microwave background (CMB) analysis. His work bridges advanced computational methods with high-precision observational cosmology, focusing on next-generation satellite missions like LiteBIRD and ground-based experiments including COMAP and SPIDER. His research centers on developing exascale computational frameworks for Bayesian end-to-end CMB analysis, with particular emphasis on extracting faint primordial B-mode signals from overwhelming foreground contamination. Key methodologies include Monte Carlo Markov Chain samplers, component separation techniques, and systematic error propagation models that enable unprecedented precision in cosmological parameter estimation. Recent publications demonstrate dominant focus on the LiteBIRD satellite mission across simulation frameworks, scanning optimization, and science forecasts, alongside significant contributions to CO intensity mapping through the COMAP project. These works reveal evolving trends toward multi-messenger cosmology and increasingly sophisticated foreground mitigation strategies. ERC Starting Grant ERC Consolidator Grant H2020 COMPET-4 project (BeyondPlanck) Eriksen serves as principal investigator for major computational cosmology projects, including the Cosmoglobe initiative for end-to-end CMB analysis.
