Louise Berben, Associate editor

University of California Davis, USA

ORCID: http://orcid.org/000-001-6461-1829

I am an Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of California Davis. I was born in Sydney, Australia, and received a Bachelor of Science degree with 1st class honors from The University of New South Wales in 2000, and in 2005 was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of California Berkeley (Advisor: J. R. Long). Between 2006 and 2009 I was a Postdoctoral Associate at CalTech and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Advisor: J. C. Peters).

My research program spans synthetic and physical inorganic chemistry with a primary emphasis on synthesis of new transition metal and main group molecules with unusual electronic structures, which support electron and proton transfer reactions, and the generation and reaction of hydride with small molecules such as CO2 and N2.

Vy Dong, Associate Editor

University of California, Irvine

Vy Dong is a Chancellor's Professor at Chemistry at UC Irvine. After graduating from the University of California, Irvine, she joined David MacMillan‘s group at UC Berkeley, moving with his group to Caltech to complete her doctoral studies. She began her independent academic career at the University of Toronto in 2006, where she was promoted with tenure and named the Adrian Brook Professor. After six years in Canada, Vy returned to the United States to assume a professorship at her alma mater, UC Irvine.

Professor Dong's research team is interested in new reaction methods, enantioselective catalysis, and natural product synthesis. Her team has been recognized by the ACS EJ Corey Award, ACS Cope Scholar Award, and Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship. Professor Dong teaches introductory organic chemistry and advanced synthesis courses.

Rebecca Goss, Associate editor

University of St Andrews, UK

ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0001-9869-8205

I am Professor of Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry at the University of St Andrews. I moved with my Research group as a Reader (Associate Professor) in 2012, having previously held a Readership at UEA and Lectureships at Exeter and Nottingham.

Our group’s research is in the area of elucidating and harnessing biosynthesis of natural products, at the chemical and genetic level, understanding and exploiting enzymes involved in the biosynthesis, and in blending synthetic biology and synthetic chemistry to make new to nature natural products (GenoChemetics), and has led to series of industrial collaborations.

Giulia Grancini, Editorial Board member

University of Pavia, Italy

Prof. Giulia Grancini is the director of the PVsquared2 team at the University of Pavia (since 2019). She leads an internationally recognized solar facility for the development of new-generation efficient and low-cost solar energy, managing an international team of fifteen researchers.

She attracted 4.5 million Euros funding from the EU (ERC Grant “HYNANO”, ERC POC “SPIKE”, MUR, Regional Funds) and she manages several collaborations with academics (Oxford, KAUST, Cambridge, EPFL, MIT) and industrial partners (EDISON, ENI, SOLARONIX) for technology transfer initiatives. Through her international career path – from PhD at Politecnico of Milano and Oxford University to Team leader for four years at EPFL (Switzerland), she contributed to the rise of emerging solar technologies in Europe, with pioneering contributions in the field of perovskite solar cells, putting her in the internationally recognized scientists arena working in this field.
