Instrument scientist of the reflectometer FREIA, which is currently under construction and instrument class coordinator for all the SANS and reflectometry instruments at ESS. He will make sure that SAGA is well integrated into the ESS instruments suite and provide a direct interface to the ESS STAPs.

Professor of Materials Science at Linköping University Head of Division at Department of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (IFM) and Head of Unit Thin Film Physics (TUNNF). An expert in synthesis of inorganic thin films and nanostructures including neutron mirrors and neutron converters.

His work is instrumental to the implementation of novel 10B-based neutron detector technologies for the ESS. He is active in the build and development of large scale research infrastructures Super ADAM at ILL and P21 at Petra III. He will coordinate the Technical development task.

Professor of Biomedical Science at the Department of Biomedical Science in the Faculty of Health and Society of Malmö University in Sweden. Expert on the use of neutron scattering (mainly SANS and NR) to the study of biologically relevant systems in health and food related applications.

Recently, she has become a user of GISANS and has been working together with Max Wolff on the building up of science cases suited for GISANS and the new concepts to be developed. Marité, together with Martin Månsson, will be involved in strengthening the user community in Sweden.

Postdoc employed at the SAGA project. Responsible for technical development in material science and thin film physics in relation to the SAGA project. Based at Linköping University.

Postdoc/researcher employed on the SAGA project. Responsible for conceptual and technical design. Focussed on instrument simulations in context of the science case. Based at Lund University.

Associate Professor in applied physics and neutron scattering, unit of Materials and Nanophysics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Assoc. Martin Månsson is also the Director of Studies for the Swedish national graduate school in neutron scattering (SwedNess) and one of the original initiator of the Swedish GISANS initiative.

He has a background in surface science using X-rays and from his time at PSI in Switzerland he has solid background in neutron scattering and large-scale science. Drives a comprehensive research program within both sustainable energy and quantum materials.

Professor at the Division of Physical Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Lund University. He is an expert in biophysics and an intensive user of the GISANS method. Tommy Nylander has long experience of different neutron techniques and of working with industry and lead large European projects. He has served in several beamline committees, where he was chairman of the Biology beamline committee at MLZ for 8 years.

Tommy will take care of overall coordination with team members, the science and industry community and the funding bodies. He ensures timely reporting and dissemination to the stakeholders. He will be proactive in engaging the SAGA partners, provide the required reporting to VR as well as submit the proposal on behalf of the SAGA consortium.

Professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy and Director of the Centre for Neutron Scattering at Uppsala University. Apart from an active research programme in soft matter that exploits interface scattering, he actively promotes new uses of neutron techniques in many areas.

Further activities include engagement with a range of supervisory and advisory panels for facilities, particularly related to developing instrumentation. Spin-off from his group results in commercial activities with additive manufacturing, some that are used to improve scientific instruments. Adrian will be responsible for the contact with the international user community.

Dr Sarah Rogers has been the Instrument Responsible for Sans2d at ISIS-STFC, since May 2010 and is the ISIS SANS Group Leader. She has been involved in multiple technique and sample environment development projects and designed and implemented the first Time of Flight (ToF) GISANS measurements at ISIS.

She is currently serving on several beamline committees including the Biology beamline committee at MLZ and College 9 at the ILL and so has a clear view of the current and future scientific and technical requirements of neutron users in both the biology and soft matter arenas. She is also a UK member of the ILL Scientific Council. Her expertise will allow her to advise on the conceptual and technical design of the proposed instrument and also on the software requirements (control, reduction and analysis) for such an instrument.

Adj. Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Stephan V. Roth, staff scientist and beamline responsible for the P03/MiNaXS beamline at PETRA III. He is also an adjunct professor in Synchrotron Radiation Characterization in Fibre and Polymer Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Dr Roth is a leading expert on GISAXS and also GISANS. His research comprises the installation and nanostructuring of thin films in the field of nanoscience and materials for information technology.

The lines of research are: Hybrid nanomaterials for energy and information technology, in situ and operando methods, microfluidics. He is together with Sarah Rodgers leading the international experts group in the SAGA project.

Professor at Department of Physics and Astronomy, Materials Physics, Uppsala Unviersity and member of the Centre for Neutron Scattering. He has a broad expertise in neutron instrumentation and is one of the pioneers of GISANS methods for the study of solid-liquid interfaces.

Max will coordinate and supervise the conceptual and technical design and evaluate alternative and innovative instrument concepts.
