Pascal Granger is Head of the Catalysis and Solid State Chemistry Department at the University of Lille, France. He obtained his PhD in Applied Chemistry from the University of Poitiers, France, and did postdoctoral research at the University of Lille before he became Full Professor there in 2003. Pascal Granger investigates the mechanisms and kinetics of heterogeneous catalytic reactions and is involved in the development of spectroscopic characterizations of DeNOx and DeN2O abatement processes. He is author and co-author of 85 publications in refereed international journals and of one book.Vasile I. Parvulescu is Director of the Department of Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Catalysis at the University of Bucharest, Romania. He received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Bucharest for a work on the selectivity of bi- and multi-metal catalysts in hydrogenation of aromatic hydrocarbons. After several years as senior researcher at the Institute for Non-Ferrous and Rare Metals in Bucharest, he rejoined the University of Bucharest in 1992 where he became full professor in 1999. His current interest concerns the study of heterogeneous catalysts for green and fine chemistry as well as for environmental protection. He authored more than 240 papers, 25 patents and 4 books.Serge Kaliaguine is Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Laval in Quebec, Canada. He has developed a strong expertise in the fields of zeolites and mesoporous molecular sieves and perovskites and other mixed oxides for which he developed a novel reactive grinding technology for industrial applications. He is also involved in the preparation of composite proton conducting membranes. Serge Kaliaguine is co-author of more than 300 peer-reviewed publications in the field of applied chemistry, chemical engineering and polymer chemistry.Wilfrid Prellier is Senior CNRS Researcher in the CRISMAT Laboratory at the University of Caen, France.
