In 2002 he was awarded a Ph.D. in Chemistry at Reading University; research focusing on macrocycle-polymer interconversion (2003). He then moved to University of Los Angeles California (UCLA) working on molecular machines and supramolecular chemistry in the laboratory of Sir. J.-F. Stoddart (Nobel Laureate 2016) as a post-doctoral fellow.

In 2005 he joined the Interuniversity Consortium of Chemistry for the Environment collaborating with the University Ca’ Foscari (Venezia) within the field of Green Chemistry. Since 2015 he is an associate Professor of Organic Chemistry at Ca’ Foscari University, his research interests encompass Green Chemistry, organic carbonates, renewable resources, new synthetic approach and chlorine-free chemistry.

She became a professor in 2003, and is full professor of physical chemistry at University of Antwerp, since 2012. From 2013-2016 she was Francqui Distinguished Research Professor, with limited teaching duties. She is head of the research group PLASMANT, with research activities on modelling of plasma chemistry, plasma reactor design and plasma−surface interactions, as well as plasma experiments for various applications, with major emphasis on environmental and medical applications.

Glenn completed a degree in chemistry at Durham University followed by a PhD in chemical engineering, specialising in polymer chemistry, at Newcastle University. Glenn ’s area of research is within all levels of green chemistry education together with related interests in utilising social media and game-based learning strategies to transform the student learning experience. Glenn regularly publishes in the chemical education and higher education scholarly literature and is currently chair of the Royal Society of Chemistry Higher Education Group. Glenn has recently been shortlisted by Times Higher Education in the ‘Most Innovative Teacher of the Year’ category in 2018 together with being recognised by Jisc as one of the top ten social media superstars in higher education.

He received his diploma (1989) and his doctoral (1992) degrees in organic chemistry from the University of Graz and after two postdoctoral stays (University of Queensland and Emory University) returned to Graz in 1996 to start his indepenent acacdemic career and was appointed Full Professor in 2011. For the past decade the focus of his research has been directed towards flow chemistry/microreaction technology, encompassing a wide variety of synthetic transformations and experimental techniques.
