Yu Kambe is CEO & Co-Founder of NanoPattern Technologies, Inc., enabling the next generation of energy efficient better color experience displays.
Andries Meijerink (1963) received his MSc and PhD degree in Chemistry at Utrecht University. After a post-doc in Madison (University of Wisconsin) he returned to Utrecht in 1991. In 1996, at the age of 32, he was appointed at the chair of Solid State Chemistry in the Debye Institute of Utrecht University where he leads an active group in the field of luminescence spectroscopy of quantum dots and lanthanide ions. In the field of lanthanide ions his work involves fundamental research on the energy level structure of both 4fn and 4fn-15d states and finding new concepts related to applications in solar cells, LEDs and scintillators, including the discovery of downconversion. Andries Meijerink received several awards, including the Shell Incentive Award (1995), the Gold Medal of the Royal Dutch Chemical Society (1999) and the Centennial Award for Luminescence and Display Materials from the Electrochemical Society (2002) and the Gilles Holst Medal (2019). In 2009 he was elected into the Royal Dutch Academy of Science.
Willem Walravens is CTO and Founder of QustomDot, an advanced materials start-up that produces on-chip grade and cadmium-free quantum dots. In addition, QustomDot assists customers to successfully integrate quantum dots in devices.
Jonathan Steckel is the Director of Advanced Technology Intelligence at STMircoelectronics in Grenoble, France. Prior to this, he was a Lead Camera Core Technologist at Apple, Inc. working on cutting edge light detection technologies after a 4 year role at Apple as a Lead Display Technologist working on developing several advanced display technologies. Before joining Apple in mid-2014 he co-founded QD Vision, Inc. in 2005 and performed numerous Director roles, starting with Director of Chemistry, advancing to Director of Materials R&D and Manufacturing, and finally to Director of Research & Advanced Development. Under his technical leadership, QD Vision’s quantum dot materials were developed to enable the commercialization of the world’s first quantum dot enhanced LED light bulbs (Nexxus) in 2009 and the world’s first quantum dot containing TVs (Sony Bravia) in 2013. Jonathan received his PhD in Chemistry from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2006, where he advanced inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles (quantum dots) to address the needs of quantum dot LED displays - improving the state-of-the-art in this space by a full order of magnitude - enabling the transition of this technology from the lab (MIT) to industry (QD Vision, Inc.). He graduated with high honors in Chemistry from Oberlin College in 2001 and was awarded the Harry N. Holmes Prize for excellence in Chemistry. He has over 70 papers, patents, and patent applications.
