18^th International Conference and Exhibition on Materials Science and Chemistry May 18-19, 2020 Berlin, Germany

Dr Lorna Anguilano (Female) is a mineralogist and archaeometallurgist. Lorna was awarded her PhD at UCL in 2012 in Archaeometallurgy. Since 2008 Lorna works at Brunel University as a characterisation expert. Lorna has a vast experience on material characterisation using diffraction and electron microscopy. Lorna has been developing and optimising phyto-mining and bio-catalysis technologies to be applied to contaminated matters as well as characterising membranes and residues from water treatments (sludges) from electrochemical and purification technologies as well as residues from pyrolysis techniques. Lorna has worked in several national and international projects for the development of sustainable composites from recycled matrix using fundamental characterisation to optimise and accelerate the manufacturing route and she is the Brunel PI of the ERDF FoDTEC project and the Heathrow sponsored Oasis project. Lorna has authored many high impact publications both in the materials manufacturing and archaeomaterials disciplines and she is the quality manager of the ETC which is UKAS accredited laboratory 2245 for ISO 17025.

Mohamed Siaj received his Ph.D. in Chemistry at Laval University, Quebec, Canada, under the supervision of Peter McBreen, a world leader in Surface Science. Following postdoctoral training at the Colin Nuckolls group at Columbia University, New York, a leading institution in graphene research, Siaj joined the Department of Chemistry at université de Quebec à Montréal as an assistant professor, and he is holding the rank of associate professor since 2012. He is acting as Co-Director of the Research Center on Nanomaterials and Energy (NanoQAM) and Director of Analysis of Materials and Microsystems Regrouping (RAMM), Faculty of Science, UQAM. Prof. Siaj has extensive experience in different areas of surface science and nanomaterials-based graphene. Siaj’s group activities focus on the growth, synthesis, processing and characterization of advanced nanostructured electroactive materials and their integration into chemical and biosensors.

A specialist in heterogeneous catalysis and clean process development for the chemical industry

Francisco Torrens is lecturer in physical chemistry at the Universitat de València. After obtaining a PhD in molecular associations in azines and macrocycles from the Universitat de València, Dr. Torrens undertook postdoctoral research with Professor Rivail at the Université de Nancy I. More recently, Dr. Torrens has collaborated on projects with Professors Tomás-Vert, Salgado and Castellano. Major research projects include prediction of the environmental impact of chemical substances using chemobioinformatics tools, discovery of new inhibitors of tyrosinase: computational design, synthesis, characterization and experimental corroboration, search for new antimicrobial agents that inhibit the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, minimal active domains of proteins of the Bcl 2 family, development and application of quantum chemistry methods and techniques to studies of drugs, analysis of pores of BAX at nanometric scale and study of the in vivo antioxidant capacity of phenolic compounds through QSAR/QSPR modelling: crossing of the blood-brain barrier and interactions with cytochromes and drugs. His scientific accomplishments include the first implementation in a computer at the Universitat de València of a program for the elucidation of crystallographic structures and the construction of the first computational-chemistry program adapted to a vector-facility supercomputer in a Spanish university.
