Dr Ajayaghosh is a CSIR Outstanding Scientist at the National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (NIIST), India. He completed his PhD at the University of Calicut after graduating from Kerala University with a BSc.  His research interests include supramolecular chemistry, chemosensors, low band-gap polymers, fluorescent gels, organic nanostructures and photoresponsive systems.

Professor Ariga is the Director of Supermolecules Group at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) in Japan. His research covers supermolecular chemistry and surface science, including the boundaries between organic chemistry, physical chemistry, biochemistry, and materials chemistry. His major interests are the fabrication of novel functional nanostructures based on molecular recognition and self-assembly, including Langmuir-Blodgett films, layer-by-layer films, and mesoporous materials.

Professor Kim is based at the Molecular Reaction Dynamics Laboratory at Seoul National University, Korea. He uses spectroscopic, microscopic, and computational methods to investigate a wide range of subjects from molecular physics, to nanoscience, to cell biology. His research goal is to elucidate the underlying principles of biological processes and nanomaterials applications in the language of chemistry, especially in terms of molecular interactions.

Professor Matoussi received his BS in Physics from the Faculty of Sciences Tunis, Tunisia in 1982, moving to the Pierre & Marie Curie University, Paris for postgraduate studies. He is now Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the Florida State University. His research focuses on understanding, controlling and tailoring the interfaces between inorganic nanocrystals and biological (as well as non-biological) systems. The work involves the design synthesis and characterisation of inorganic nanocrystals and multidentate, multifunctional ligands, as well as designing nanoparticle-bioconjugates as analytical tools for sensing, imaging and diagnostics.

Professor Neese is Director of the Department of Molecular Theory and Spectroscopy at the Max Planck Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry. His research interests focus on the fundamental science related to activation of small molecules by transition metals, with the aim of unravelling reaction mechanisms of complex, transition metal catalyzed reactions at the electronic structure level. The work involves the development of new quantum chemical methods, computational chemistry and molecular spectroscopy.

Professor Rueda is Chair of Molecular and Cellular Medicine at Imperial College, London. Research in the Rueda lab involves the development of quantitative single-molecule approaches to investigate the mechanism of complex biochemical systems, including RNA, DNA and proteins.

Professor Shi obtained his BS (1985), MS (1988) and PhD (1992) degrees from Nanjing University and worked as a lecturer at the same University, becoming an Associate Professor in 1993 and full Professor in 1995. He took up a position as Professor of Chemistry at Tsinghua University in 2000. His research interests are focused on functional polymers, especially the syntheses and applications of conducting polymers and carbon nanomaterials.
