Y. Q. Aguiar received a B.Sc. degree in Automation Engineering from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande, Brazil, in 2015, and a M.Sc. degree in Microelectronics from the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in 2017, and a Ph.D. degree in Electronics Engineering from the Université de Montpellier, France, in 2020. During his thesis, he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in the RADSAGA Innovative Training Network. He concentrated his studies on the application of prediction methodologies to evaluate radiation effects in electronics and the exploration of novel radiation hardening by design techniques. He was awarded the 2020 Paul Phelps Award from the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) during the Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference (NSREC). Currently, he is a senior research fellow at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), in Geneva, Switzerland. His current activities are focused on the assessment of the radiation environments within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) complex for the application of Radiation Hardness Assurance (RHA) methodologies. He has also been pointed as a technical and scientific support officer in the RADNEXT European Research Infrastructure. His main research topics includes the analysis and modeling of radiation effects in electronics, device variability effects, hardening techniques for digital circuit design,radiation hardness assurance and dosimetry.F. Wrobel, after a university degree in nuclear physics and instrumentation, performed his doctoral thesis at the University Montpellier 2, under the direction of Professor Jean-Marie Palau, on the issue of the reliability of SRAM memories. In 2002, he joined the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis first as Assistant Professor (ATER) and then the following year as Associate Professor. He worked on the radiation-matter interaction for medical applications (dosimetry) and electronic (reliability). In 2008, he joined the RADIAC team in the University of Montpellier 2 and since then he has been working on the development of tools for predicting error rates in electronic components as well as the contamination of component materials by alpha emitters. Frédéric Wrobel received his accreditation to supervise researches (HDR) in December 2008, and later, in 2010, he was awarded the Great Price of electronics "General Ferrié" for his works on nuclear physics codes and their original and innovative validations by stratospheric balloon flights. Additionally, he was awarded the Price “Chercheur d’Avenir” (Region Languedoc Roussillon) for his work on radiation in atmosphere. He is author and co-author of over 180 articles in journals and international conferences. In 2011, he became head of the specialty of Master EEA "Dependability Engineering Space". His field of expertise is radiation-induced single-event upset and he works both at radiation-matter interaction and electronic devices levels. In particular, he developed predictive tools that estimate the sensitivity of devices to radiation (neutrons, protons, ions). In 2012, Frédéric Wrobel became a junior member of Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) and since 2014 he is a Full Professor.J.L. Autran received the Materials Science and Engineering Degree and the Ph.D. Degree in Microelectronics, both from the National Institute of Applied Sciences (INSA) of Lyon in 1992 and 1994 respectively. In 1999, he was awarded the accreditation to supervise research (HDR) from University Claude Bernard Lyon-1. Since 2000, he has been Full Professor of physics at Aix-Marseille University. From 2003 to 2008, he was member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) and from 2017 to 2023, he was the Head of the Institut Matériaux Microélectronique Nanosciences de Provence (IM2NP Laboratory). Currently, he is the Head of the Institut de Physique de Rennes. His current research works concern the physics of single event effects in microelectronics devices and circuits, natural radiation environments, physics modeling and numerical Monte Carlo simulation. Jean-Luc Autran authored or co-authored more than 300 papers in international technical journals and refereed conferences, 1 book, 20 invited conferences, 17 book chapters and edited 13 international conference proceedings. In 2011, he was elected Fellow of the French electricity, electronics and information and communication technology Society "for his work concerning the effects of cosmic and atmospheric radiation on advanced micro and nanoelectronics components and circuits".R. G. Alía is part of the “Radiation to Electronics” (R2E) project at CERN, which he leads since 2018. After having studied nuclear and high-energy physics in the Complutense University in Madrid (Spain), he started his career in radiation effects as a Young Graturate Trainee at the European Space Agency, in the Netherlands. From there, he moved to completing his PhD with CERN and the University of Montpellier, focusing on the effect ofhighly energetic particles on Single Event Effects in the LHC accelerator. During this period, he was recognized with the “Best Student Paper” award in RADECS 2012, and the Paul Phelps Award in 2015. Since then, he has kept a strong involvement in radiation effects research with, focusing on high-energy accelerator applications, and has co-authored more than 75 publications in peer reviewed journals. He has also co-authored a RADECS Short Course, has been session chair at NSREC and RADECS, and is currently technical chair for RADECS 2021. Recently he was elected Junior Member-at-Large of the Radiation Effects Steering Group (RESG). At CERN, his main task is that of managing the R2E project, which is responsible for all aspects linked to radiation effects in the LHC accelerator and its injector chair, with the mandate of ensuring its successful operation with regards to stochastic failures and lifetime degradation induced by radiation. The project, which is composed of more than 50 members, embeds a rich variety of activities and expertise, ranging from the monitoring and calculation of radiation levels, through the operation of CERN radiation facilities, and up to radiation effects testing at both component and system level. Rubén is also coordinating the RADSAGA Marie Curie PhD network since 2017, and led the RADNEXT proposal for creating a radiation test infrastructure network in Europe, which was accepted for funding and is currently in its implementation phase.
