The work behind the article was done mainly by PhD student Jonas Vanthornhout, under guidance of Prof. Tom Francart, with contributions from Lien Decruy, Jan Wouters and Jonathan Simon (University of Maryland).
This research was funded mainly by an ERC starting grant to Prof. Francart, a KU Leuven research project and an FWO-SB mandate to Jonas Vanthornhout.
