Florian Brandstetter is a renowned
recorder player who performs on international stages around the world. His
concert activities include both solo and ensemble performances, ranging from
intimate chamber music evenings to large concert and opera productions.
Throughout his career, Brandstetter has been
awarded multiple national and international prizes for his outstanding
achievements. In addition to his musical career, Brandstetter
is also an educator, teaching at music schools as well as at conservatories
and universities.Since the
founding of the Austrian Recorder Academy (ARA), he has served as a lecturer,
contributing significantly to the education of young recorder players with
his expertise and dedication. Brandstetter is the
founder and artistic director of MokkaBarock, an ensemble which is dedicated to the performance of
early music on historical instruments. Under his direction, the ensemble has
given numerous concerts and achieved success in national and international
competitions. Brandstetter has a particular interest
in the creation of historical music editions, especially modern first
editions. His editions are characterized by careful editing and scholarly
precision, and have already been included in masterclass programs. His latest
project focuses on Ayres for the violin by Nicola Matteis, for which no modern edition currently exists.
The Dieter W. Bäuerle Prize enables him to explore
and carefully edit this work, making it accessible to musicians and
musicologists. |

Dr.
Marinus Huber studied physics at the Friedrich Schiller
University of Jena and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, completing his
master's thesis at Harvard University. For his PhD at Ludwig Maximilian
University, he developed a novel infrared spectroscopy method, known as
field-resolved spectroscopy, utilizing fs-laser sources. His work led to the
creation of the most sensitive spectrometer for analysing
liquids in the mid-infrared wavelength range to date. He continued his
research as a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum
Optics, Friedrich Schiller University, and the University of
Kaiserslautern-Landau, where he focused on innovative biomedical applications
of field-resolved spectroscopy for analysing
liquids and cells. |

Dr. Anton Rudenko is a research scientist with expertise in
ultrashort laser-matter interactions modeling for applications in nanostructuring and light manipulation at the nanoscale.
He received his PhD in optics and photonics at Lyon University in France in
2017, continued his research in Laboratoire Hubert Curien, Saint-Etienne, France in 2017-2019 developing multiphysics models to predict self-organization of
periodic nanostructures induced by ultrashort laser [1], and then in the
group of Prof. Jerome V. Moloney in the College of Optical Sciences at the
University of Arizona, Tucson, USA in 2019-2024, working on different
problems from laser shattering of the atmospheric water droplets for fog
clearing [2] to harmonic generation from nanostructured materials [3], and
nanovoid formation in the bulk of solids. Dr. Rudenko is currently a
postdoctoral fellow in the group of Computational Nanophotonics
led by Prof. Lora Ramunno at the University of
Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada and will soon join the CNRS (French National Centre
for Scientific Research) to pursue his career in France. [1] Amplification and regulation of periodic

Alexander
Nicholls is an award-winning violoncellist, and musicologist
specialising performance and study of
eighteenth-century music. He holds degrees in both music performance from the
Juilliard School (USA), and The University of Western Australia, as well as a
musicology degree from The University of Sydney (AUS). Alexander is currently
undertaking his doctoral studies at the Universität für
Musik und Darstellende
Kunst Wien (AT) under the supervision of Dr Clive Brown where he is studying
the violoncello performing practices of King Friedrich Wilhelm II (17441797)
and his court. His investigations into the music and performing practices of
Berlin in the eighteenth-century have led to the production of two CDs of
Berlin composer Johann Gottlieb Janitsch
[17081762] with Brilliant Classics [1-2], as well as co-authoring alongside
Univ.-Doz. Dr. Helmut Kowar (Universität Wien)
notes for the publication of the Kleemeyer 170 Flötenuhr collection with Cuvillier
[3]. The 2022 Dieter W. Bäuerle Award for Music
will provide Alexander the opportunity to undertake a digitisation
project of eighteenth-century mechanical instruments from Berlin. [1]

Dr. Dasha Nelidova
is a medical doctor and biophysics researcher at the Institute of Molecular
and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel, Switzerland. As an undergraduate, she
studied at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. She read medical
statistics at the University of Oxford and genomic medicine at the University
of Cambridge. Her PhD in biophysics and neuroscience was performed at the
Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research in Switzerland. Dr. Nelidova works on new translational technologies for
treating retinal diseases that lead to blindness [1, 2]. She combines gene

Dr. Sebastian Nino Karpf is a Juniorprofessor
for translational biomedical photonics at the Institute of Biomedical Optics
(BMO), Universität zu Lübeck, Germany. Before, he
was a PostDoc in Prof. Bahram Jalalis
group at University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Karpf
realized a new strategy which utilizes a wavelength swept FDML laser in
combination with a diffraction grating to achieve very fast line scanning
together with high-speed fluorescence lifetime imaging (the so called SLIDE microscope) [1], spectrally-scanned
time-stretch LiDAR [2] and time-encoded stimulated Raman microscopy [3].
Currently, Dr. Karpf and his group develop novel laser light
sources, microscopy techniques and apply them in biomedical imaging. [1] Spectro-temporal encoded
