SET III - Green Processes:Editor of Volume 7 - Green SynthesisProf. Chao-Jun LiProfessor Chao-Jun Li received his Ph.D at McGill University (Montreal, Canada) and did a NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at Stanford University (USA). He was on the faculty at Tulane University (New Orleans, USA) until 2003. Since 2003, he has been at McGill University where he currently holds a Canada Research Chair (in Green Chemistry) and an E. B. Eddy Chair Professorship. He has published over 300 scientific publications and received numerous awards including the US Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award and the Canadian Green Chemistry and Engineering Award. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (Academy of Science) and is an Associate Editor for Green Chemistry of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK).Editors of Volume 8 - Green NanoscienceProf. A. Perosa and Prof. M. SelvaAlvise Perosa is Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Università Ca' Foscari in Venice, Italy.Under the supervision of Prof. Pinna, Mauricio Selva received his PhD in Industrial Chemistry in 1989 with cum laude. After two research scholarships he started his academic career as assistant professor of organic chemistry at the Università Ca´Foscari, Venezia, Italy where he is currently Associate Professor.Editors of Volume 9 - Designing Safer ChemicalsProf. Paul T. Anastas, Dr. Bob Boethling and Prof. A. VoutchkovaPaul T. Anastas is the Teresa and H. John Heinz III Professor in the Practice of Chemistry for the Environment. He has appointments in the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Department of Chemistry, and Department of Chemical Engineering. In addition, Prof. Anastas serves as the Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale. Anastas took public service leave from Yale to serve as the Assistant Administrator for the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Agency Science Advisor from 2009-2012. From 2004 -2006, Paul Anastas served as Director of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute in Washington, D.C. He was previously the Assistant Director for the Environment in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy where he worked from 1999-2004. Trained as a synthetic organic chemist, Dr. Anastas received his Ph.D. from Brandeis University and worked as an industrial consultant. He is credited with establishing the field of green chemistry during his time working for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as the Chief of the Industrial Chemistry Branch and as the Director of the U.S. Green Chemistry Program. Beside the Handbook of Green Chemistry, Dr. Anastas has published widely on topics of science through sustainability including eleven books, such as Benign by Design, Designing Safer Polymers, Green Engineering, and his seminal work with co-author John Warner, Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice.Dr. Robert (Bob) Boethling is scientist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Exposure Assessment Branch. He earned his Ph.D. at UCLA in 1976 and joined EPA in 1980 after a postdoctoral fellowship under Prof. Martin Alexander at Cornell University. Dr. Boethling's expertise is in biodegradation, and design and development of environmental fate data resources and estimation methods. Adelina Voutchkova is Assistant Professor at the George Washington University, Washington D.C.
