Zhishun Wei received his Doctor Degree in Environmental Material Science from Hokkaido University in 2014. He worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Catalysis Research Center (2014-2015) and Institute
for Catalysis (2015–2017), Hokkaido University. In 2017, he moved to School of Materials and Chemical Engineering at Hubei University of Technology, where he was promoted to an associate professor position in 2017. Currently, he is a member of the Chinese Chemical Society and a photocatalysis group leader at Hubei Provincial Key Laboratory of Green Materials for Light Industry. He is deputy editor-in-chief of EWA Cat. Res., guest editor in Catalysts and topic editor of New Materials and Advanced Applications in Photocatalysis (MDPI). His research topics mainly include heterogeneous photocatalysis, solar energy conversion, water splitting, environmental purification, plasmonic nanoparticles, and visible-light-responsive
materials.
Zuzanna Bielan earned her Ph.D. in Chemical Science, with highest honors, at Gdańsk
University of Technology, Poland in 2021. After a 2-year postdoctoral stay at the Institute of Fluid-Flow Machinery Polish Academy of Science, in 2023 she joined the research group of prof. Ewa Kowalska at Jagiellonian University in Kraków as an assistant professor. Her research interests include photocatalysis with a particular emphasis on photocatalyst's post-process separation and core–shell structures.
Ewa Kowalska has been a professor of Jagiellonian University, Faculty of Chemistry since 2022. She received her PhD degree in chemical technology (Gdansk University of Technology, Poland) in 2004. After completing JSPS (2005-2007), GCOE (2007-2009) postdoctoral fellowships in Japan, and Marie
Sklodowska-Curie fellowships in France (2002-2003) and Germany (2009-2012), she worked at the Institute for Catalysis (ICAT), Hokkaido University, as an associate professor from 2012 to 2023. She has published ca. 120 peer-reviewed papers and 15 book chapters, and delivered 40 invited talks (including 6 plenary/key-note lectures). Her research interests focus on environmental protection, AOPs, noble metals, solar energy conversion, plasmonic photocatalysis, photonic crystals, nanoarchitecture design and other vis-responsive materials for degradation of chemical and microbiological pollutants. She is the editor of
Materials Science in Semiconductor Processing, deputy editor-in-chief of Micro & Nano Letters, editor-in chief of EWA Cat. Res., section associate editor of Catalysts, topic editor in MDPI, and member of the editorial board of various journals, including Catalysts, Micro, Photochem, Photocatalysis: Research and
Potential, etc.
