Ying I. Tsai
Dr. Ying I. Tsai has been a member of several scientific societies and organizations in Taiwan and Europe, especially the Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research (TAAR) and The Nordic Society for Aerosol Research, European Aerosol Assembly (EAA). He was the former chairman of the Department of Environmental Resources Management (2012-2014) and the Director of Environmental Safety and Hygiene Center (2007-2012), Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science.
He has been honored with an Annual Outstanding Industry-Academy Cooperation Award of the Ministry of Education, Taiwan and the Best Research Paper Award many times at Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science. Currently, he is working as a Professor at the Department of Environmental Engineering and Science and Director at the Indoor Air Quality Research and Service Center, Chia Nan University of Pharmacy and Science, Taiwan.
Dr. Tsai serves as an Editor, Associate Editor or Editorial Board Members for more than 15 international journals. He has been interested in the chemical properties of atmospheric aerosol and long-range transport of aerosol, but recently he extended his attention to the emission identification and health risk potential of allergy-/irritation- causing aromatic substances in aerosol from incense burning in the indoor environments.

Richter is graduated in Chemistry from the University of Santa Cruzdo Sul, Brazil (1994), and received his master’s (2000) and Ph.D. degree (2004) in Analytical Chemistry from the University of São Paulo, Brazil. He completed a postdoctoral research at the University of São Paulo, Brazil during 2005. He is currently Associate Professor of the Institute of Chemistry at the Federal University of Uberlândia, Brazil. His current research interests focus on the development of new analytical methods using capillary electrophoresis with conductometric detection and flow-injection and batch-injection analyses with amperometric detection.
Corrado Spinella
Corrado Spinella has been Head of the Italian Micro– Nanosystems Technological District, Director of the Institute of Microelectronics and Microsystems, and presently he is Head of the Physics of Matter Department of the National Research Council. His research activity is focused on materials science and technology for microelectronics applications. A common feature characterizing all his scientific work is the investigation of the fundamental properties of materials and the finalization of results to concrete technological advances, through collaborations with the Microelectronics Industry. He is co-author of 250 scientific papers (h-index 34).
Isabel M Palacios
University at Madrid, Spain; PhD at EMBL Germany; Postdoc at the Gurdon Institute, Cambridge, UK; Group Leader as a Royal Society University Research Fellow and currently as a University Senior Research Fellow, Cambridge, UK. Also a Fellow of St John's College, Cambridge, UK
Christophe Hano
Dr. Christophe Hano, completed his PhD in 2005 in Plant Physiology, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, and is Associate Professor at the University of Orleans with research activities the ICOA Lab (UMR7311 CNRS). His research career has focused on applied plant metabolism, plant biotechnology and green (bio)chemistry.
Currently, he is developing research projects aimed at studying plant secondary/specialized metabolism to lead to the development of natural products with interests in the fields of pharmacology and/or cosmetics. In particular, his research focuses on the green extraction (NaDES) and analytical methods applied to plant polyphenols, elucidation of their biosynthetic patways and their exploitation by metabolic engineering approaches.
