Yukihiro Ozaki Yukihiro Ozaki obtained his Ph.D. (1978) in chemistry from Osaka University. He is currently a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at Kwansei Gakuin University in Sanda, Japan. He has been active in the research of a variety of molecular spectroscopy, covering IR, Raman, NIR, and far-ultraviolet (FUV) spectroscopy. His contributions to SERS/TERS spectroscopy involve; (1) mechanism of SERS, (2) development of SERS/TERS spectrometers and experimental techniques, (3) application of TERS to nanomaterials, (4) 3-D SERS imaging, and (5) semiconductor-enhanced Raman scattering. Prof. Ozaki has received many awards including the 1998 Tomas Hirschfeld Award, the 2002 Spectroscopical Society of Japan Award, the 2005 Science and Technology Award of Japanese Government (Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology), the Gerald Birth Award, and the Bomen-Michelson Award. He is also a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Chemical Society of Japan, and the Society for Applied Spectroscopy.
George C. Schatz George C. Schatz is Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry and of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University. He received his undergraduate degree in chemistry at Clarkson University and a Ph.D at Caltech. He was a postdoc at MIT and has been at Northwestern since 1976. Schatz has published three books and more than 800 papers. Schatz is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Sciences, and he has been Editor-in-Chief of The Journal of Physical Chemistry since 2005. Recent awards include the Debye and Langmuir Awards of the ACS, the S F Boys-A Rahman Award of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the Hirschfelder Award of the University of Wisconsin. He is a Fellow of the APS, RSC, ACS, and the AAAS. Schatz is a theoretician who studies the optical, structural, and thermal properties of nanomaterials, including plasmonic nanoparticles, DNA and peptide nanostructures, and carbon-based materials, with applications in chemical and biological sensing, electronic and biological materials, high performance fibers, and solar energy. His past work has also been concerned with understanding the dynamics of chemical reactions in the gas phase and in gas-surface collisions.

Duncan Graham Duncan Graham is Research Professor of Chemistry and Head of Department for Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, having being appointed there as a lecturer in 2002 and then as a Chair in 2004. He is currently Chair of the Editorial Board of Analyst and President elect of the Analytical Division of the Royal Society of Chemistry. He serves on the advisory boards of Chemical Society Reviews, Chemical Science, Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, the journal of Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging and the new Cell Press journal, Chem. He has been awarded numerous awards for his research including the RSC’s SAC Silver Medal (2004), the RSC’s Corday Morgan Prize (2009), a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award (2010), the Craver Award from the Coblentz Society (2012), and the Fellows Award from the Society for Applied Spectroscopy (2012). He was elected to the fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2008. He has published more than 200 papers and graduated more than 50 Ph.D. students. He is a Cofounder and Director of Renishaw Diagnostics Ltd. (2007), which now has 42 FTE and has a CE marked SERS- based diagnostic now available for use in European hospitals. He completed a Ph.D. in organic chemistry at the University of Edinburgh (1996), and his interests are in developing new diagnostic assays based on nanoparticles and spectroscopy with target molecules including DNA, RNA, proteins, and small molecule biomarkers.
Tamitake Itoh Tamitake Itoh is currently a Senior Researcher of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan. He completed his Ph.D. (2002) at Osaka University under the supervision of Prof. Hiroshi Masuhara and Prof. Tsuyoshi Asahi. Through postdoctoral research positions from 2002 to 2005, he worked at Kwansei Gakuin University. In April of 2005 he became a Researcher in AIST, and in April of 2010 he was promoted to Senior Researcher. In 2012, as an additional position he was appointed as visiting Associate Professor at Nagoya University. His research theme is surface enhanced spectroscopy at ensemble- and single plasmonic nanoparticle levels.
