"Hidden quantum coherences in magnetoreception with chirality"
Yasuhiro Kobori received a B.Sc. (Tokyo Institute of Technology, 1992), M.Sc. (Tokyo Institute of Technology, 1994), and D.Sc. (Tokyo Institute of Technology, 1998). He was a research associate at Tohoku University (1996), a JSPS postdoctoral fellow at the University of Chicago (2003), an associate professor at Shizuoka University (2006), and a professor at Kobe University (2013). His current research interests include mechanistic understandings of photoinduced primary processes in short-lived transient species such as multiexcitons and radical pairs by developing a spin-polarization imaging that maps conformations of reaction intermediate with respect to external magnetic field direction in the molecular frame.

"Assembled radicals as a platform for spin-correlated luminescence"
Tetsuro Kusamoto received his Ph.D. from the University of Tokyo in 2010. He was a postdoctoral researcher at RIKEN (2010−2012), a project assistant professor and also an assistant professor at the University of Tokyo (2012-2018), an associate professor at the Institute for Molecular Science (2019-2023), and a professor at the University of Osaka. He is passionate about developing novel open-shell molecular systems that exhibit correlated photonic, electronic, and magnetic functions, with a particular focus on the interplay between spin degree of freedom and electronic excitation-relaxation dynamics in the systems.

“Unraveling the conformational landscape of CRISPR/Cas13a with Pulsed Dipolar EPR Spectroscopy”
Olav Schiemann received a Diploma in Chemistry (University of Marburg, 1995) and a PhD (University of Marburg, 1998). He was a DFG postdoctoral fellow at Caltech (1998-2000), a habilitant and then Privatdozent at the University of Frankfurt (2000-2007), and a Lecturer, Reader, and then Professor at the University of St Andrews (2007-2014). Since 2011, he has been a Full Professor at the University of Bonn. His current research interests include structure-dynamics-function relationships in biomolecules and the development of EPR methods. He has been awarded a Weston Visiting Professorship from the Weizmann Institute (2022) and the Biology/Medicine Medal of the International EPR Society (2025).

"Molecular spin quantum information science and technology: Spin relaxation and quantum control as studied by pulsed ESR method”
Kazunobu Sato received his PhD in Science from Osaka City University (OCU) in 1994. He joined Prof. Takeji Takui’s research group then and started his academic carrier. In 2006, he became a professor at the Graduate School of Science, OCU. He is currently a professor at Osaka Metropolitan University which was established in 2022 by merging OCU and Osaka Prefecture University. His research focuses on an understanding of electronic structures and magnetic properties of molecule-based magnetic materials. Also, he focuses his great efforts on methodological developments of pulsed electron-nuclear multiple resonance spectroscopy, implementing developments of molecular-spin quantum computers and quantum information processing by invoking pulsed AWG-ESR spin technology. He has been received a society award from the Society of Electron Spin Science and Technology in 2024.

University of Osaka
"Mapping ultrafast chemical reaction dynamics in complex molecular systems via vibrational coherence"
Hikaru Kuramochi received his B.Sc. (2007), M.Sc. (2009), and D.Sc. (2013) from the Tokyo Institute of Technology. He was appointed as a Special Postdoctoral Researcher at RIKEN in 2013, became a Research Scientist at RIKEN in 2016, and joined Institute for Molecular Science as an Associate Professor in 2020. In 2025, he was appointed Professor at the University of Osaka. His current research focuses on the development of novel ultrafast spectroscopic techniques and light sources, and their application to investigate reaction dynamics and coherent phenomena in condensed-phase systems from small fundamental molecules to complex molecular systems such as proteins and functional materials.
