Federico Marini

Federico Marini

University of Rome La Sapienza, Italy
Bio
Prof. Marini received his MSc (2000) and PhD (2004) from Sapienza University of Rome. He is currently associate professor of Chemometrics at Sapienza University of Rome. In 2006, he was awarded the Young Researcher Prize from Italian Chemical Society and in 2012 he won the Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems Award “for his achievements in chemometrics”. He has been visiting researcher in various Universities (Copenhagen, Stellenbosch, Silesia, Lille). His research activity is focused on all aspects of chemometrics, ranging from the application of existing methods to real world problems in different fields to the design and development of novel algorithms. He is author of more than 200 publications (between papers in international journals and book chapters)
 
, and in 2013 he edited and coauthored the book Chemometrics in food chemistry (Elsevier). He is member of the Editorial boards of Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, Analytica Chimica Acta, J. of Chemometrics, J. of NIR Spectroscopy, J. of Spectral Imaging and he serves as Associate Editor for Chemometrics in Wiley’s Encyclopedia of Analytical Chemistry. He is the past coordinator of the Chemometric group of the Italian Chemical Society and the coordinator of the Chemometric study group of EUCheMS.

Jelena Muncan

Kobe University, Japan

Bio

Jelena Muncan is currently working on development of aquaphotomics as a science and a technological platform for a multitude of measurement applications in various fields. She is based in Biomeasurement Technology Laboratory, Graduate School of Agricultural Science, Kobe University, Japan headed by the aquaphotomics founder – Prof. Dr Roumiana Tsenkova.

She received her Ph.D. diploma in Biomedical Engineering at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Belgrade in 2014, where she also started her research and teaching career (2008), later being promoted to an assistant (2014) and assistant professor (2017). She spent two years as a postdoctoral research fellow of Japanese Society for Promotion of Science, in Biomeasurement Technology Laboratory, Kobe University until 2019, when she decided aquaphotomics is to become her main field of work.

Her research is directed at reaching better understanding of structure of water in aqueous and biological systems and their resulting properties and functionality, thus providing a common platform for development of novel non-destructive, non-invasive measurement and monitoring technologies, advancing towards the development of  bio-photomodulation strategies based on water-light interaction.
