Davide Ravelli is currently assistant professor at the PhotoGreen Lab of the University of Pavia (www.unipv.it/photogreenlab). The main research interests of DR are in the frame of photochemical reactions and the attending applications in various fields, particularly in sustainable organic synthesis. He is highly interested in the discovery of methods for the facile generation of valuable intermediates (mainly organic radicals). DR has co-authored ca. 80 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, with a h-index of 23.
 
Chiara Samorì is currently assistant professor at the Green Chemistry Lab of the University of Bologna (www.unibo.it). The main research interests of CS are in the frame of extraction of biomass by using sustainable solvents for producing 3rd generation biofuels, bioactive compounds and bioplastics. She is highly interested in the development of sustainable and safe protocols for exploiting terrestrial and aquatic biomass. CS has co-authored ca. 42 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, with a h-index of 17.
