Graham N. Newton is an Assistant Professor in Inorganic and Materials Chemistry and Nottingham Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham (UK). He completed his PhD under the guidance of Prof. Lee Cronin at the University of Glasgow (UK) before moving to the University of Tsukuba (Japan) in 2008 to work with Prof. Hiroki Oshio on a JSPS postdoctoral fellowship, investigating the synthesis and properties of multistable clusters. He was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Tsukuba in April 2011, before returning to the UK and the University of Nottingham in 2015. His research is focused on the development of redox- and photo-active advanced molecular materials for applications in energy technologies.

Victor Sans obtained a M Eng degree in Chemical Engineering at the University Jaume I in 2003, followed by a MSc and a PhD in Sustainable Chemistry (2007) at the same University. Afterwards he took a post-doctoral appointment at the Universities of Bath and Warwick under the supervision of Prof. Alexei Lapkin. In parallel to his research work he completed a part-time MBA (2011) at the University of Bath. In 2011 he moved to Glasgow to work as a PDRA and since 2013 as a Research Fellow with Prof. Lee Cronin. In 2014 he was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham.
