Peter Wellmann is Professor at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany, and Chair of the Department of Materials for Electronics and Energy Technology. After his PhD he was postdoctoral researcher at the Materials Department of the University of California Santa Barbara, USA. He did his habilitation in Erlangen in 2001 on the topic of vapor growth and characterization of silicon carbide. Peter Wellmann was Visiting Professor at the National Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble and at the University of Montpellier 2, France.

Noboru Ohtani is Professor at the School of Science and Technology and Director of the R&D Center for SiC Materials and Processes at Kwansei Gakuin University, Hyogo, Japan. He earned his PhD degree in 1993 from Imperial College London, UK. Prior to joining Kwansei Gakuin University, he worked at the Advanced Technology Research Laboratories of the Nippon Steel Corporation.

Roland Rupp is Senior Principal SiC Technology at Infineon AG in Munich, Germany, where he has built up and coordinated the development of SiC technology for power applications. He obtained his Diploma from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, and subsequently worked as Research Engineer at Stettner&Co. He then returned to university to obtain his PhD and afterwards worked as Development Engineer at Siemens AG for seven years before taking on his current position.
