Wolfgang Schattke is a retired member of the Institut fur Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik der Christian-Albrechts-University Kiel where his teaching covered the branch of theoretical physics from the basic courses to advanced topics of the Ph D curriculum. His research interests focus on material properties of the solid state and its surfaces investigated with ab-initio electronic structure methods. Besides studying numerical access to photoemission spectroscopy, his scientific efforts point to many-body theory where Quantum Monte-Carlo offers a central tool to complete the successful application of Density Functional Theory to material sciences. Ricardo Diez Muino is Vice Director of the Centro de Fisica de Materiales, a Joint Center between the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU and the Spanish Research Council CSIC in San Sebastian. Previously, he developed his research activity in the Donostia International Physics Center DIPC (Spain), the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (USA), and the Universite de Bordeaux (France). His main field of research is condensed matter theory, particularly electronic excitations in metallic systems, with some excursions into atomic and molecular physics.
