professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Bucharest, where she began her academic career in 1990. Since 2000, she has been director of the R&D Center LaborQ and coordinates the research group in bioanalytical chemistry, sensors and biosensors. Since 2011, she is the Director of the Doctoral School on Chemistry. The research activity is concentrated on the development and application of chemical sensors, biosensors and immunosensors for food, environmental and clinical analysis, The current research is focused on the integration of biological molecules (DNA, antibodies, cells and enzymes) and other species with micro- and nanostructures with interest for the design of novel sensors and biosensors, and investigations of mechanisms at bio-interfaces, Her research group include PhD students, postdoctoral and undergraduate, scholars with research interests lie in the area of Bioanalytical Chemistry, at the interface between Analytical Chemistry and Biochemistry.

Hubert PERROT (61 years old) is a CNRS-DR researcher in the LISE laboratory at Sorbonne University (Paris). He received his chemical engineering degree in 1986 (École de Chimie Industrielle de Lyon), his DEA in analytical chemistry in 1986 (University of Lyon) and his PhD in 1990 at École Centrale de Lyon. He received his HDR from the University Pierre et Marie Curie in 2001. He is currently director of LISE and was president of the electrochemical subdivision of the SCF (Société Chimique de France) from 2016 to 2021. His research interests include the electrogravimetric characterisation of various electroactive materials, involved in different applications such as electrochemical storage/conversion energy and the development of non-conventional quartz crystal microbalance devices. He is the author of 239 papers in international journals (h-index: 41) and 5 patents. He has been the coordinator of several academic (ANR, PHC, CSC), international (Ohio University, PHC…) and industrial (EDF, Total, BWT...) projects.

Dr. Alessandra Zanut is a Junior Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Sciences (DiSC) of the University of Padova in the Analytical Chemistry group and co-founder of the start-up NanoPhoenix Srl, which develops micro- and nanostructured devices for life science applications. She previously worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Bologna (Italy) and the Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering Department at NYU Tandon School of Engineering (New York, USA).
Her research focuses on the fabrication and characterization of nanostructured materials for advanced electrochemical (EC) and electrochemiluminescent (ECL) biosensors applied to health, environmental, and biochemical monitoring. A key aspect of her work is investigating ECL mechanisms underlying excited-state generation, utilizing both standard analytical devices and diverse molecular and micro/nanostructured components.

Jorge García-Cañadas is an Associate Professor at Universitat Jaume I (Spain). His research during his PhD at Universitat Jaume I was focused on the characterisation and fabrication of electrochromic devices and dye-sensitised solar cells, significantly contributing to the understanding of the physics of these devices and their materials (functionalised porous electrodes, conducting polymers, intercalation electrodes, organic conductors, etc.). He was contracted in 2007 as R&D Manager by the spin-off company Xop Física S.L, to lead the development of new semiconductor-based moisture sensors. In 2011, he joined Cardiff University (UK) where he was involved in the fabrication of thermoelectric modules for high temperature energy harvesting applications, the discovery of new thermoelectric materials by high-throughput methods, and the development of new characterisation techniques for thermoelectric materials and devices. In September 2015, he returned to the Universitat Jaume I as a Ramón y Cajal Fellow, founding the Thermal and Electrical Systems Laboratory (TESLab), which mainly focuses on the development of characterisation methods for thermoelectric materials, the identification of new applications for thermoelectric devices, the development of ionic thermoelectrics and the study of hybrid solid-electrolyte thermoelectric systems. He has participated in different national and European projects, such as the European project UncorrelaTEd that he coordinated.
