Audrey Moores Audrey Moores is a Full Professor of Chemistry, co-lead of the Materials group of the McGill Sustainable Systems Initiative (MSSI) and associate director of the Facility for Electron Microscopy Research (FEMR) at McGill University. She serves as an associate editor for ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. In 2020 she became a member of the College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists of the Royal Society of Canada, which is the junior body of the equivalent to a Canadian Academy of Science. In 2021 she received the Canadian Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Award for Green Chemistry. With her group, she focuses on sustainable solutions for nanoparticles and biopolymer synthesis as well as catalyzed reactions, with an interest in waste biomass valorization, earth abundant starting materials and high atom economy. Audrey Moores est professeure titulaire de chimie, co-directrice du groupe Initiative développement systémique durable de McGill et directrice associée de la Plateforme de Recherche en Microscopie Electronique à l’Université McGill. Elle est rédactrice en chef associée pour ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering. En 2020, elle est devenue membre du Collège des nouveaux chercheurs, artistes et scientifiques de la Société royale du Canada. En 2021, elle a reçu le Prix canadien de chimie et de génie chimique pour la chimie verte. Avec son groupe, elle se concentre sur les solutions durables pour la synthèse de nanoparticules et de biopolymères ainsi que sur les réactions catalysées, avec un intérêt pour la valorisation de la biomasse des déchets, les matières premières abondantes en terre et l’économie d’atomes élevée. Karen Wilson Karen was appointed was appointed Professor of Catalysis in the School of Science at RMIT University in 2018, and was previously Chair of Catalysis and Research Director of the European Bioenergy Research Institute at Aston University (2013-17), where she also held a prestigious Royal Society Industry Fellowship in collaboration with Johnson Matthey. Karen holds a BA and PhD from the University of Cambridge, and MSc in heterogeneous catalysis from the University of Liverpool, and has held academic positions at the University of York and Cardiff University. She has published >280 peer-reviewed articles (h-index 75, >21,000 citations Google Scholar). Karen’s research interests lie in the design the design of tuneable porous materials for sustainable biofuels and chemicals production from renewable resources. Recent projects have spanned the conversion of biomass from municipal, agricultural or forestry waste to fuels and chemicals, and the transformation of bakery waste to additives for application in coatings and polymers. She has also worked on depollution technologies to remove organic contaminants from waste- water in the seafood industry and palm and olive oil plantations in South East Asia. Karen is currently Associate Editor of Sustainable Energy & Fuels (Royal Society of Chemistry), and Energy & Environmental Materials (Wiley). She is also a co-investigator and theme leader on a recently funded Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence, ‘Green Electrochemical Transformation of Carbon Dioxide’ GetCO2.
