Dr. Junsuk Rho (鲁埈锡) is currently a Mu-Eun-Jae (无垠斋) endowed Chair Professor and Young Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Chemical Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Korea. He is also the director of POSCO-POSTECH-RIST Convergence Research Center for Flat Optics and Metaphotonics. Before joining POSTECH, he received a degree his B.S. (2007) and M.S. (2008) in Mechanical Engineering at Seoul National University, Korea and the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, respectively. After getting Ph.D. (2013) in Mechanical Engineering with designated emphasis on Nanoscale Science & Engineering from the University of California Berkeley, he had worked as a postdoctoral fellow in Materials Sciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Ugo Fano Fellow in Nanoscience and Technology Division at Argonne National Laboratory. His research is focused on developing novel nanophotonic materials and devices based on fundamental physics and experimental studies of deep sub-wavelength light-matter interaction.

Takuo Tanaka received his PhD degree in 1996 from Osaka University. After that, he joined faculty of Engineering Science, Osaka University as an assistant professor. In 2003, he moved to RIKEN as a research scientist in Nanophotonics Laboratory. He was promoted to associate chief scientist as a head of Metamaterials Laboratory in 2008 and to chief scientist in 2017. From 2014, he is concurrently heading "innovative photon manipulation research team" in RIKEN Center for Advanced Photonics as a team leader. His research background is three-dimensional microscopy such as confocal microscope and two-photon microscope. Recently, he is studying about nanophotonics, plasmonics, and metamaterials fields with developing many new nanofabrication techniques. He has also experimental and theoretical experiences about high precision optical measurements and spectroscopy.
