**Meet the editors**

Dr. George Z. Kyzas was born in Drama, Greece, and obtained his BSc degree in Chemistry and MSc and PhD degrees in Chemical Technology—Materials Science from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece. His current interests include the synthesis of various adsorbent materials for the treatment of wastewaters (such as dyes, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and phenols).

He has published over 85 significant scientific papers, authored books, edited books, and published chapters in books, teaching notes, and reports. He also acted as a guest editor in special issues of journals and presented many works in international conferences. He has been awarded with honors, grants, and fellowships for his research career/profile by the research committee of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the National State Scholarships Foundation of Greece, and the Stavros Niarchos Found.

Prof. Athanasios C. Mitropoulos was born in Athens in 1957. He received his BSc degree in Chemistry from the University of Thessaloniki and MSc and PhD degrees in Physical Chemistry from the University of Bristol. In 1998, he was appointed professor at the Department of Petroleum Engineering of the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Institute of Technology. Since 2008, he has been

the president of the same institute. His expertise is in the characterization of porous media, nanoporous materials, and membranes with in-situ techniques of adsorption and small angle X-ray scattering. He has published more than 100 journal papers, book chapters, and patents. He is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
