Sónia Carabineiro graduated in Applied Chemistry (branch of Biotechnology) at the NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal (FCT-UNL) and obtained her Ph.D. degree in Chemical Engineering (Catalysis) in 2001 at the same University. In 2000 she was an Invited Researcher at Leiden University, The Netherlands, and Post Doctoral Researcher from 2001 to 2003 at the same University. In 2004 she got a Post Doc grant at the Centre of Structural Chemistry of the University of Lisbon (CQE-IST). In 2007 she joined the Laboratory of Catalysis and Materials (LCM), part of Associate Laboratory LSRE-LCM, at the Department of Chemical Engineering (DEQ) of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP), as an Assistant Researcher, with a Ciencia 2007 grant from Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). From 2013 to 2018 she was a Principal Researcher (Investigator FCT grant) at the same lab. She was Integrated Researcher of CQE-IST and Invited (Visiting) Professor at Wuhan Textile University, China in 2019. She is Assistant Professor at FCT-UNL (since 2020). She has also collaborations with other Universities of Portugal and abroad and is member of the Editorial Board of several journals. She is one the female reviewers in the world with more revisions done (Publons data) and evaluator of several international projects (including ERC grants). She was included in the list of the worldwide most cited scientists (top 2% of Chemistry) published by Stanford University from 2017 to 2021.

Francisco Jose Maldonado Hódar is Full Professor at the Department of Inorganic Chemistry of the University of Granada and member of the research team "Nanomaterials and Sustainable Chemical Technologies". His scientific career has been related for more than 30 years to the development of advanced materials for the production of clean energy, green chemistry processes and environmental processes for air and/or water decontamination. He has developed heterogeneous catalysts, mainly based on various carbon materials (1D, 2D, 3D) and nanostructured composite materials, seeking synergy between phases and optimisation of catalytic processes. Currently focused in the development of catalysts for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) of emerging pollutants in water and/or volatile organic compounds in gaseous effluents (VOCs) using photocatalysed processes with sunlight, heterogeneous Fenton-like processes, etc.
