Lutz Ackermann is Professor of Chemistry at Georg-August-University Göttingen, Germany. He obtained his Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Dr. A. Fürstner at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim/Ruhr, Germany, in 2001. He then was a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. R.G. Bergman at the University of California (Berkeley, USA), before initiating his independent career in 2003 at Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany. In 2007, he was promoted to full professor at the Georg August-University Göttingen. His research is focused on the development of novel concepts for sustainable catalysis, with a topical focus on C-H activations. He was awarded, among others, the Gottfried-Wilhelm-Leibniz Prize (2017), an ERC Grant (2012), the BASF Lecture at UC Berkeley (2014), and held visiting professorships in Milano, Perugia, Pavia (Italy), Wisconsin, Madison (USA), and Osaka (Japan). He is the editor of the book "Modern Arylation Methods" (Wiley-VCH) and has co-authored more than 8 book chapters and 240 referred journal publications.
 
T. Brent Gunnoe is the Commonwealth Professor of Chemistry at the University of Virginia, USA, since 2008. He received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina (USA) in 1997 under the director of Prof. J. Templeton and did postdoctoral work at the University of Virginia from 1997 to 1999. He began his independent career as an assistant professor at North Carolina State University in 1999. He was the recipient of a NSF CAREER Award, an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship and the LeRoy and Elva Martin Award for Teaching Excellence. He currently serves as associate editor for "ACS Catalysis". From 2009 until 2015 he was the Director of the Center for Catalytic Hydrocarbon Functionalization (CCHF), which was an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the United States Department of Energy. Currently, he leads the University of Virginia effort within MAXNET Energy, a consortium from the Max Planck Society that
