Title Details

Chryssostomos Chatgilialoglu was born in 1952 in Greece and studied at the University of Bologna, Italy. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of York, England, from 1977 to 1979 with Prof. ROC Norman, and from 1979 until 1982 he worked with Prof. KU Ingold at the National Research Council of Canada (Ottawa) as a research associate. In 1983 he returned to Italy to the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche CNRS, Bologna, where he has been director of research?since 1991. His research focuses on free radical chemistry with current interests in mechanistic studies of biological processes.

Armido Studer was born in Switzerland and made his studies at ETH in Zurich. He currently works as a Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster. His research interests focuses on the development of new synthetic methods in the field of free radical chemistry and more recently in the area of homogeneous catalysis.
