Rudy Konings
Rudy Konings graduated from Utrecht University with an MSc in Earth Sciences in 1985. He then joined the Netherlands Energy Research Foundation ECN as researcher in the field of thermodynamics of nuclear materials and defended his PhD at the University of Amsterdam in 1990. He stayed at ECN and subsequently at NRG (Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group) working on nuclear fuel-related issues, his last role being head of the unit "Fuel, Actinides and Isotopes". In 1999 he joined the European Commission's Joint Research Centre in Karlsruhe (formerly the Institute for Transuranium Elements). There he currently is the head of the Nuclear Fuel Safety Unit, responsible for the nuclear fuel related research, comprising fuel synthesis, characterization, and accident behavior. In addition he is part-time professor at the Delft University of Technology, holding the chair "Chemistry of the nuclear fuel cycle". His research interests are nuclear fuels and actinide materials, with particular emphasis on high temperature chemistry and thermodynamics. He is a (co)author of more than 300 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journal and 14 book chapters, has been editor of Journal of Nuclear Materials (2009-2012), and editor-in-chief of the first edition of Comprehensive Nuclear Materials.

Roger E Stoller
Roger E. Stoller joined the Oak Ridge National Laboratory as a research staff member in April 1984. He retired from the Materials Science and Technology Division in April 2016 at the rank of Distinguished Research Staff Member. He currently serves as a materials consultant to the nuclear industry. Prior to joining ORNL, he earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in nuclear engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, respectively. In 1987, he received his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the UCSB. He is the (co) author of more than 200 peer-reviewed publications, book chapters, and technical reports on the effects of radiation on materials, with a focus on the fusion reactor environment. From 2012 through 2015, he served as an editor of the Journal of Nuclear Materials, and he was a section editor on the first edition of Comprehensive Nuclear Materials. He has been the (co) organizer of numerous international symposia and workshops; these include the 14th (1988) and 15th (1990) ASTM International Symposia on the Effects of Radiation on Materials. He was a co-editor of the Fifth (1991), Ninth (1999) and 11th (2003) International Conferences on Fusion Reactor Materials, Chairman of the Publication Committee for ICFRM-12 (2005), and General Chairman of ICFRM-15 in 2011, and served on the Technical Program Committee for the ICFRM-16 (2013) and ICFRM-17th (2015). During his tenure at ORNL, he served as a visiting scientist at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (now JAEA) in Tokai (1997), the UK Harwell Laboratory (1994), and the University of California, Santa Barbara (1990-91). Since 2000 he has been an adjunct professor of nuclear engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He has been recognized as a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society, ASM International and ASTM International.
