Jovan M Nedeljkovic
Dr. Jovan Nedeljković got his bachelor degree at the Faculty of the physical chemistry of the Belgrade University in 1984, and since then he has been employed in the Institute of nuclear sciences Vinča in Belgrade. Dr. Nedeljković obtained his Ph.D. degree in 1991 at the Clarkson University, Potsdam, USA. After that Dr. Nedeljković returned to the Institute of nuclear sciences Vinča, and in 1999 he was appointed as researcher professor. Dr. Nedeljković is the principal investigator in the field of nanomaterials. He has extensive international collaboration, and he worked in Argonne National Laboratories, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Under his supervision, 12 Ph.D. students graduated. Dr. Jovan Nedeljković published more than 170 scientific papers. Papers published by Dr. Nedeljković have been cited more than 6000 times, and his h-index is 40. Dr. Nedeljković is a referee for many journals. Dr. Nedeljković main research interest includes the development of colloidal methods for synthesis of nanoparticles of different type of materials. His research goal is to obtain nanoparticles with high uniformity and controllable shape (spheres, rods, wires, tubes), as well as to understand the size- and shape-dependent properties of materials at nano-scale. Also, the research interest of Dr. Nedeljković is a synthesis of nanocomposite materials using nanoparticles as building blocks (polymer-based nanocomposites, functionalized textile fibers, thin films, etc.).
Maura Pellei
Maura Pellei is Associate Professor of General and Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Camerino. In 1993 she graduated in biological science at the University of l′Aquila. She obtained her degree in chemistry in 2003 and her Ph.D. in chemical sciences in 2010 at the University of Camerino. Her research interests are in coordination
chemistry, bioinorganic systems, and metal-based drugs.
Beatriz Royo
I graduated in Chemistry at University of Alcalá (Madrid, Spain) and received my PhD degree in chemistry from the University of Sussex (Brighton, UK) in 1993 working with Prof. M. F. Lappert. After PhD, I moved to University of Alcalá as Assistant Professor (1993-94), and later as a Researcher Professor. In 1997, I joined the group of C. Romão in ITQB NOVA (Lisbon, Portugal). Since 2004, I am the Head of the Organometallic Catalysis group at ITQB NOVA (http://www.itqb.unl.pt/research/chemistry/organometallic-catalysis). I have been involved for years in organometallic chemistry research, working with main group, early and late transition metals. The activities of my research group focus on the design and synthesis of bio-relevant metal-based compounds with specific properties for their use in catalysis. Currently, I am the Head of the Chemistry Division at ITQB NOVA.
Carlo Santini
Carlo Santini is Associate Professor of General and Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Camerino and in 2013 he received the qualification of Full Professor in Fundamentals of Chemical Sciences and Inorganic Systems. He coordinated the Doctoral Area in Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Biotechnologies of the School of Advanced Studies and since 2015 he has been the head of the Chemistry Division of the School of Science and Technology of the University of Camerino. His research interests are in coordination and organometallic chemistry, in functional metal
complexes and metal-based drugs.
Hans Martin Senn
Hans Martin Senn obtained his undergraduate and PhD degrees in Chemistry from ETH Zürich. For his undergraduate thesis project in 1996/97, he went to Imperial College, London, where he was supervised by Mike Mingos, who got him into (EHT and DFT) calculations. Back in Switzerland, he did his PhD with Antonio Togni at ETH and Peter Blöchl at the IBM Zürich Research Centre. After a first postdoc with Tom Ziegler in Calgary, he worked in Walter Thiel's group at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Mülheim an der Ruhr (Germany). Since 2007, he has been a lecturer in Theoretical and Computational Chemistry at the University of Glasgow (UK).
Rogerio R Sotelo-Mundo
Prof. Sotelo-Mundo contributes as an academic editor in PeerJ, PeerJ Inorganic. Chemistry and PeerJ Materials Science. He holds a Ph.D. in Biochemistry from The University of Arizona (USA) with Prof. William Montfort. Back in Mexico in 1999 at Centro de Investigación en Alimentación y Desarrollo (http://www.ciad.mx), Dr. Sotelo-Mundo has contributed to the biochemistry and structural biology of proteins from marine invertebrates. Being at a food science institute has applied biochemistry to food science and technology. Also, he collaborates in the materials science graduate program at Universidad de Sonora as a visiting professor, participating in research about macrocyclic biomimetic molecules. His research focuses on the structure and function of proteins related to disease, and the chemical structure of natural and synthetic molecules related to biomedical applications. The experimental approach is the crystallography of proteins and small molecules, along with biochemical and biophysical techniques. Our group collaborates with a range of groups from disciplines from genomics and metagenomics, biochemistry, supramolecular chemistry, and material sciences.
