lecturer position in the Physics Department. He leads the Carbon Functional Materials Research Group, which focuses on the use of various carbon materials such as diamond, graphene, and organic semiconductors for applications in electronics, bioelectronics, and biosensing. He received Master's and PhD degrees in telecommunication engineering from the Technical University of Madrid, Spain, in 1996 and 2000, respectively. From 2001 to 2004, Garrido worked as a postdoctorate at the Walter Schottky Institute, Technische Universität München. He obtained his habilitation in experimental physics in 2010. Since 2011, Gar-

rido holds a privatdozent position in the Department of Physics at the Technische Universität München. He co-authored more than 90 scientific publications, including various reviews of diamond and graphene materials for bioelectronics, as well as one book chapter. He has chaired or co-chaired numerous international scientific meetings, including several MRS symposia in the Fall and Spring meetings, and serves on the scientific committee of the major diamond and related materials conferences. Garrido has been the Editor of the journal Diamond and Related Materials since 2011. Sergei V. Kalinin is currently a senior research staff member at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), following a Eugene P. Wigner Fellow appointment at ORNL (2002–2004). He received his PhD degree (2002) in materials science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is adjunct faculty at The Pennsylvania State University and Sung Kyun Kwan University, and joint associate professor at the Bredesen Center for Interdisciplinary Research and Education at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. His research is focused on nano- and atomic-scale physics and electrochemistry of ionically active solids and local bias-induced phase transitions and polarization dynamics in ferroelectric, multiferroic, and macromolecular systems. The key element of his work is scanning probe microscopy (SPM) of electromechanical and transport phenomena. Several of his developments have been adopted and licensed by the SPM industry. Kalinin’s honors include the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECA
