**Meet the editors**

Iyad Karamé, PhD, is a professor at the Faculty of Sciences, Lebanese University and the director of the LCOM. He attained his PhD degree from the Lyon 1 University in January 2004. He was an assistant professor and a researcher (ATER) at the Ecole normale supérieure de Lyon during 2004–2005, a researcher at the Leibniz Institut für Katalyse in Rostock (Germany)

(2005–2006), and a researcher at the LCOMS, CPE-Lyon, until 2008. His principal axes of research are green organometallic catalysis, CO2 chemistry, materials for solar energy, and synthesis of chelating macrocycles for the complexation of metals. He is an editor of three books: *Hydrogenation*, *Recent Advances in Organocatalysis*, and *Green Chemical Processing and Synthesis*, published by IntechOpen.

Janah Shaya, PhD, is a researcher and an instructor at the Institut de physique et chimie des matériaux de Strasbourg (IPCMS), University of Strasbourg in collaboration with Kyushu University, Japan. He joined the IPCMS in 2016. He attained his PhD degree from the University of Nice, Sophia Antipolis, in France in September 2016. His principal axes of research are

organic synthesis, catalysis, material sciences, biosensors, photophysics electrochemistry, and applications (energy storage systems and CO2 valorization). He is currently the co-editor of "Carbon Dioxide Chemistry" book with IntechOpen.

Hassan Srour, PhD, is an instructor at the Faculty of Sciences, Lebanese University. He was a research and development engineer at the École supérieure de chimie physique électronique de Lyon (C2P2-CPE de Lyon). He attained his PhD degree from the University of Claude Bernard Lyon 1 in France in October 2013. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Ecole normale supérieure de

Lyon (ENS), France (November 2013–March 2016). His principal axes of research are organic synthesis, polymer electrolytes, electrochemistry, and catalysis for different applications (energy storage systems and CO2 valorization). He is an editor of *Recent Advances in Organocatalysis* and *Green Chemical Processing and Synthesis*, published by IntechOpen.
