Dr. L. Q. Zhang is an Associate Professor at the National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where she investigates fundamental plasma processes in Earth's magnetosphere. Her primary research focuses on magnetic reconnection and turbulence phenomena, particularly in the magnetotail and solar wind environments, contributing to improved understanding of these dynamic processes in the plasma sheet. After completing her Ph.D. at NSSC, Dr. Zhang conducted postdoctoral research at the State Key Laboratory of Solar Activity and Space Weather. Her scholarly work has resulted in more than thirty peer-reviewed publications appearing in leading space physics journals such as Geophysical Research Letters and Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics. Currently, Dr. Zhang is pioneering the application of machine learning techniques to space physics challenges. In collaboration with AI specialists, she has developed novel computational approaches to characterize solar wind-magnetosphere interactions, creating specialized models for both dayside magnetopause phenomena and nightside plasma sheet dynamics.

Dr. Eckehard Mielke was born in June 1947 in Lower Saxony, Germany, as the third son of Walter Mielke and his wife Charlotte Jopp. Since 1999, he has been married with two children. In Hamburg, he started school in 1954. After moving to Kiel, from 1958 to 1966 he attended the Hebbelschule, a preparatory school for boys, where he earned his Abitur, with the distinction of being exempt from oral examination. After completing his compulsory military service, in 1968 he began studying physics and mathematics at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, obtaining his diploma in 1972. In 1976, he completed his Ph.D. with a thesis in Kiel on "Quantum Field Theory in de Sitter Space" under the supervision of Lothar Wiedecke at the Institute for Pure and Applied Nuclear Physics of Erich Bagge, a former student of Heisenberg. From September 1973 to August 1974, he pursued graduate studies at Princeton University on general relativity in the stimulating group of John Archibald Wheeler with an exchange fellowship from the "Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes". From October 1976 to 1977, Mielke conducted research at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University in the group of Roger Penrose with a DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) fellowship and then continued his research at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, under the auspices of Abdus Salam with the support of a Habilitation Fellowship from the DFG (German National Research Foundation). In April 1982, he submitted his habilitation thesis, "On the Hypotheses Underlying Geometrodynamics," to the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences in Kiel. It eventually became the book "Geometrodynamics of Gauge Fields," published in 1987 by Akademie-Verlag, Berlin. (Second edition, Springer International Publishing Switzerland, Studies in Mathematical Physics 2017, 373 pages). For two years he received practical training as a teacher at a German high school and, in May 1984, took the Staatsexamen fur das Lehramt an Gymnasien, an examination for teachers. Finally, in December 1984, he was appointed Privatdozent (implying no salary) at the University of Kiel. Due to contacts from his time at Princeton and some experience on the duality of gauge theories acquired in Trieste, he became a research assistant at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Cologne in the group of Friedrich W. Hehl. From August 1984 to July 1991, these projects were supported by the DFG and the German-Israeli Research Foundation, culminating in 1995 in a renowned Physics Report with Hehl, Dermott McCrea, and Yuval Ne'eman (the co-founder of the SU(3) particle classification). For a year, he returned to the Hebbelschule in Kiel, but now as a teacher. Then, from 1993 to 1994, he filled in for an associate professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics, again in Cologne, and wrote a popular book on astrophysics and black holes, published in 1997 by Vieweg and now available in the Springer Book Archives. In October 1994, he accepted an invitation from Alfredo Macías of the Cosmology and Astrophysics group to stay for three weeks at the Physics Department of the Autonomous Metropolitan University (CBI-Iztapalapa) in Mexico City, then headed by Salvador Cruz. This extended from September 1995 to August 1997 as a visiting professor and finally resulted in a full professor position at UAM-I since October 1997. He is a full member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences (Academia Méxicana de Ciencias) since 1998. In 2008 he was nominated "Outstanding Referee" by the American Physical Society, a lifetime distinction. During several Marcel Grossmann Meetings on General Relativity, he has organized parallel sessions, most recently in 2012 in Stockholm on "Asymptotic Safety and Symmetry Breaking in Quantum Gravity". He has over 180 publications, monitored by Google Scholar Citations, and his co-authors include former students or researchers from the Universities of Kiel, Koeln, Konstanz, León-Guanajuato, Mexico City (UAM and Cinvestav), Tel-Aviv, and most recently Zurich. His position at the UAM allows him to pursue quite exotic research interests: among them, knot wormholes, neutron stars and bosons, color geometrodynamics, anomalies, axion dark matter models, soliton collisions, and topological gauge models of gravity. He has published a book on "Modern Relativity."
