After becoming a board-certified neurosurgeon in 2006, she dedicated to specialize in neuro-oncology, for which she obtained the personal certification of the Neurosurgeon´s Academy (NCAW) for this focus and the venia legendi as a neurosurgeon in 2017.

While raising her two daughters born in 2006 and 2010 Prof. Ahmadi decided to shift her focus on additional neurosurgical subspecialties which ultimately led to the attainment of the additional designation of specialized pain management and neuro-intensive care from the state medical board.

In 2018 Prof. Ahmadi became the current elected speaker of the division of neurosurgical pain therapy of the German Neurosurgical society (DGNC) In this role, she is delegated and involved in creation of new and revision of existing national therapy guidelines related to this focus. Furthermore, she is involved in the creation of the personal certification for neurosurgical pain management as a member of the Neurosurgeon´s Academy (NCA) and as an expert advisory board member in the German Pain Society (Deutsche Schmerzgesellschaft e.V.).

In August 2022 she received the professorship (APL) at the Ruprecht Karls University of Heidelberg.

Hamid Borghei-Razavi, MD, is director of the Minimally Invasive Cranial and Pituitary Surgery Program at Cleveland Clinic Florida, research director of the Neuroscience Institute at Cleveland Clinic Florida Region, and an Assistant Professor of Neurological Surgery at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine specializing in Brain Tumor Surgery, Open and Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery, Pituitary Surgery, and Trigeminal Neuralgia. Dr. Borghei-Razavi received his medical degree from Iran University of Medical Sciences (IUMS) and the University of Lübeck (Universität zu Lübeck) in Germany. He completed his residency training at Clemenshospital, University of Münster, Germany. During his residency training, he was awarded a scholarship by the German Society of Neurosurgery (DGNC) to participate in a resident exchange program at the prestigious Keio University Skull Base Center in Tokyo, Japan. After finishing his training in Germany, he performed a year's Research Fellowship in Skull base Neuroanatomy at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). He then completed two Clinical Fellowships in Neurosurgical Oncology and Advanced Open and Endoscopic Skull Base Surgery at Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, devoting his efforts to minimally invasive neurosurgical techniques. Dr. Borghei-Razavi has authored more than 150 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters and is on the editorial board for multiple journals. He also received multiple national and international awards and scholarships in recognition of these accomplishments.

Dr. Alexandre Rainha Campos is a neurosurgeon from Lisbon, Portugal, specializing in epilepsy surgery. He completed a fellowship at the prestigious Bonn Epilepsy Center in 2009 and currently holds the position of surgical coordinator at the Hospital de Santa Maria Epilepsy Center.

Dr. Campos is deeply committed to providing neurosurgical treatments for both children and adults affected by epilepsy. He has extensive expertise in treating adults with brain tumors, with a particular focus on awake surgery for gliomas in the field of oncological surgery.

Throughout his career, Dr. Campos has held various leadership positions, playing a pivotal role in advancing the field of neurosurgery. He served as the president of the training committee for the Portuguese Neurosurgical Society from 2017 to 2020. Subsequently, he took on the role of vice-president from 2021 to 2022, and since 2023, he has served as the president of the same society. Additionally, since 2015, he has been an esteemed member of the executive committee for the European Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery.

Dr. Campos demonstrates his dedication to education and training by organizing numerous pre and postgraduate courses. These courses utilize laboratory settings and 3D printed models to provide comprehensive training to students and residents. Topics covered in these courses include the treatment of epilepsy, spasticity, endonasal surgery, and craniotomies.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Campos has made contributions to the field through his research and publications. His papers primarily focus on epilepsy and oncologic surgery, showcasing his commitment to advancing knowledge in these areas. He also took the lead in coordinating a group that developed treatment guidelines involving intrathecal baclofen, resulting in the creation of a handbook that provides valuable insights for medical professionals in this field.
