Davide Vione Received his summa cum laude
Laurea degree in Chemistry at the University of
Torino (Italy) in 1998, and the Ph.D. in Chemistry
in 2001. In 2002–2011 he has been University
Lecturer in Torino, and he was appointed Associate
Professor in 2011. His research interests focus on
environmental photochemistry, particularly the
sunlight-driven processes that involve transient
species in surface and atmospheric waters, and
on Advanced Oxidation Processes for water and
wastewater decontamination. In June 2012 the ISI
database reported 107 entries under his name, with
1,499 citations and h index 22 (for Scopus: 110 entries, 1,549 citations, h index 22).
In 2003 Dr. Vione was presented the Young Researcher’s award from the Analytical
Chemistry division of the Italian Chemical Society (SCI) and the “European Young
Researcher of the Year” award by the European Association of Chemistry and the
Environment (ACE). He is Editorial Board Member of the E-Journal of Chemistry,
and reviews around 30 articles per year for several environmental chemistry journals. Dr. Vione has contributed some chapters as a co-author as well as an editor of
this book.
Dr. M. Abdul Mottaleb Received B.Sc.
(Honors) and Masters of Science degree in Applied
Chemistry from the University of Rajshahi,
Rajshahi, Bangladesh. He earned his Ph.D. degree
in Analytical and Environmental Chemistry/
Sciences from the University of Strathclyde,
Glasgow, UK. Over past 22 years Dr. Mottaleb
got experience in teaching and research in the area
of analytical and environmental sciences in different countries: Bangladesh, United Kingdom,
South Korea and the United States of America. Examples are (i) Scientific officer,
Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission, (ii) Associate Professor in Chemistry,
University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh, (iii) KOSFE postdoctoral research fellow,
South Korea, (iv) Research Associate, National Exposure Research Laboratory,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Las Vegas, Nevada, and (v)
Research Scientist/Professor, Baylor University, Texas. Dr. Mottaleb was a recipient of the Science Achievement Awards (SAA) in Chemistry 2005, and Science
& Technological Achievement Awards (STAA) 2005, offered by U.S. EPA and
American Chemical Society, for his outstanding and impressive discovery of emerging contaminants and nitro musk-haemoglobin adducts in aquatic organisms such as
fish. Currently Dr. Mottaleb is working as an Analytical Chemist at the Center for
Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Northwest Missouri State University, USA and is
