### **About the Editors**

#### **Giovanni Bruno**

Prof. Dr. Giovanni Bruno, Bundesanstalt fur Materialforschung und -pr ¨ ufung and University ¨ of Potsdam, Germany, studied nuclear engineering at the University of Bologna, graduating in 1989 and completing a second degree in physics in 1998; he obtained his doctorate (1997) in materials science at the University of Ancona, Italy. He was a research assistant at the Open University (Milton Keynes, UK), at the HMI, Berlin, and at the Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble, France. From 2005 to 2012, Giovanni worked for Corning Incorporated, first as group leader for material characterization in Avon, France, and then as project manager for R&D in Corning, NY, USA. At the end of 2012, he became head of division at BAM, Berlin, and Professor at the University of Potsdam, Germany. His scientific activities are focused on residual stress analysis by means of X-ray and neutron diffraction and on the investigation of the mechanical behavior and damage in materials using diffraction, X-ray computed tomography and refraction methods.

#### **Christiane Maierhofer**

Dr. Christiane Maierhofer, Bundesanstalt fur Materialforschung und -pr ¨ ufung, led Division 8.7 ¨ (thermographic methods) in the department of non-destructive testing at BAM from 2017 to 2022. Previously, she worked on acoustic NDT methods, always at BAM. Her scientific activities focused on the online monitoring of manufacturing processes, in particular additive manufacturing, and on the development of active and passive thermographic methods for materials characterization and non-destructive testing. She sadly passed away in May 2022.
