Mer om författaren

Dimitrios A. Giannakoudakis obtained his PhD from the City University of New York in 2016. For his research performance he received the “James Whittam Award for Research Excellence in Interfacial Phenomena”. Teresa Bandosz is a full professor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the City College of New York. She has a broad experience in the field of materials preparation, and their applications to environmental problems related to development of adsorbents for gas separation. Her recent research interests include synthesis of Graphene/ MOF, Graphene/ hydroxide composites for separation and energy harvesting applications, visible light photoactivity of carbonaceous materials, energy storage, and CO2 sequestration and reduction, and development of protection against chemical warfare agents. Since 2014, she is co-editor of the Journal of Colloid and Interface Science. She is also on the Board of Directors of International Adsorption Society and on theEditorial Boards of Carbon, Adsorption Science and Technology and Applied Surface Science.
