Dr Vinod Kumar Verma was a Professor of Physics at the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur (India) until April 2010 and a Professor of Engineering Physics/Nano Science at GGSIP University, New Delhi until January 2016. In a research career spanning more than 40 years he participated in international collaborations like EMU01, L3, WA93, WA98, GAMMA-2 & 3, E+T & QUINTA at the JINR, Dubna. He has authored or co-authored over 180 research papers and edited the proceedings of the Workshop on Physics of Accelerator Driven Sub-critical Systems (ADSS). In India, he is best known for his pioneering research on ‘spallation neutrons’ in the course of several S&T projects completed for the DST and DAE (Government of India). He has also successfully completed developmental work on two Monte Carlo Codes for the ADSS technology, i.e. the CASCADE 2004 version in collaboration with the JINR (Dubna) and the JA-IPU code for radiation damage with a team of Indian researchers. Over the past 20 years, he has initiated scientific collaborations with teams in the Czech Republic, S. Korea and Russia on the activity related to ADSS technique.  

Dr. Karel Katovský graduated with a degree in nuclear engineering. His PhD thesis at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague (2008) was on experimental research and the nuclear data problems of ADSS. He subsequently spent several years at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR) in Dubna. He worked at the Computation Reactor Physics Department of SKODA JS, where he dealt with nuclear fuel loading patterns and their optimization. Since 2012 he has been working as an Assistant Professor of Nuclear Engineering at Brno University of Technology, where he serves as a leader of the Nuclear Power Group to teach nuclear energy. He is the author or co-author of 37 SCOPUS-indexed papers, more than 50 conference papers, and about 30 research reports. He is a member of the Board of the Czech Nuclear Society and of the expert committee for nuclear energy of regional NGO associations in the NPP Dukovany area.
