Author Information

Valentina Sessini is currently GET co-funded Marie-Curie Fellow at the University of Alcala, Madrid, Spain. She received her PhD in Civil Engineering and Innovative Materials from the University of Perugia, Italy, in May 2017, and completed a postdoctoral stay at the University of Mons for 15 months, contracted in the framework of the INTERREG BIOHARV project. Dr. Sessini has published 14 peer-reviewed JRC scientific publications (9 as first author) in international JCR journal of high impact factor and 6 book chapters, has participated in 5 research projects, and her work has been presented at more than 24 national and international congresses. She has a broad experience in the development of bio-based, biocompatible, biodegradable and smart polymeric materials and nanocomposites, melt processing of plastics (extrusion, injection, compression, etc.), and reactive extrusion. In recent years, her work has focused on the sustainable synthesis of biobased polymers with piezoelectric properties for energy harvesting applications. Srabanti Ghosh received her PhD from UGC-DAE CSR, Kolkata centre and Jadavpur University, India followed by a position as research associate at the Indian association for the Cultivation of Science, India. After a research stay at the Laboratoire de Chimie Physique, University of Paris-Sud, France, she was appointed as Visiting Assistant Professor at the S. N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, India. She worked as CSIR-SRA Scientist's Pool Scheme at CSIR-Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute, India. Her research interests encompass synthesis and applications of semiconductor and conducting polymer-based hybrid nanomaterials for solar light harvesting, photocatalysis, fuel cell and electrocatalysis. She received MRSI Young Scientists Award in Young Scientists Colloquium organized by Material Research Society of India, and Young Investigator Award in Gordon Radiation Chemistry, USA. She is selected as top 10% of highly cited authors in Royal Society of Chemistry Materials portfolio of journals. She is co-author of 71 scientific publications and one patent, 15 book chapters and edited two books with Wiley. Her work has been presented in more than 72 national and international conferences. She routinely acts as a reviewer of SCI Journals from different editorials (RSC, ACS, ELSEVIER, Wiley, Springer, MDPI, etc.). Presently she is developing hybrid catalytic materials for solar water splitting and CO2 reduction and worked as GOT ENERGY TALENT-COFUND MarieCurie Fellow at Universidad De Alcala, Spain. Marta E. G. Mosquera is currently Associate Professor at the University of Alcala, Madrid, Spain. She received her PhD degree in Chemistry from Oviedo University, and previous completed postdoctoral research stays at Cambridge University (United Kingdom) and Wurzburg University (Germany). Dr. Mosquera has a broad experience in organometallic, coordination chemistry and catalysts. She has participated in 23 research projects (10 as PI) and her work has been reported in more than 112 papers in JCR journals and 90 conferences contributions (several as invited speaker). She has participated in the organization of worldwide conferences and has also been invited to give talks at various universities in Spain, Poland and the UK. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Dr. Mosquera's research efforts are focused on homo and heterometallic main group (aluminum, potassium, etc.) compounds active in catalytic processes of polymerization of functionalized monomers and co-polymerization with CO2, aiming in particular to develop catalysts for the next generation of biopolymers.
