Dr. Laura Fisher is an Executive Editor for RSC Advances, RSC Mechanochemistry, and RSC Pharmaceutics at the 外网天堂 (RSC). She joined the RSC in 2014 and previously worked as Publishing Editor and then Deputy Editor for the journals Soft Matter, Polymer Chemistry, Biomaterials Science, Reaction Chemistry & Engineering, and MSDE.
She holds a master's degree in chemistry and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Bath, where she studied H鈧�, CO鈧�, and N鈧� adsorption in metal-organic frameworks. After leaving Bath she completed a postdoc at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, before leaving research to begin a career in publishing.
She is also an advocate for improving inclusion and diversity in publishing and worked on updating the RSC’s author name changes policy, as well as acting as an inclusion and diversity representative within the organisation. She also has a keen interest in publishing ethics, having played a major role in the RSC’s paper mills investigation during 2020.

Dr Donna Arnold is Senior Lecturer in Chemistry and Forensic Science at the University of Kent. Her PhD, undertaken at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, focussed on the structure and electronic properties of porous manganese oxides. She has since worked at the Foundation for Research and Technology in Crete and undertaken postdoctoral research at the University of St Andrews. Her research on functional nanomaterials at University College Cork earned her national recognition for her role in the design of the first patterned substrates manufactured by Intel to meet key research needs.

Professor Ramasastry obtained Ph.D. in Chemical Sciences in 2005 from the Department of Organic Chemistry, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (India), under the supervision of Prof. A. Srikrishna. He then pursued postdoctoral studies with Prof. Carlos F. Barbas, III at The Scripps Research Institute, San Diego (USA). After briefly working in the industry, he joined the Department of Chemical Sciences, IISER Mohali, as an Assistant Professor in 2011. Since 2023, he has been serving as a Professor in the same department.
His research interests include the development of sustainable and atom economic reactions via organophosphine catalysis, palladium-catalyzed allylic alkylation reactions, one-pot cascade transformations employing sulfur ylides, and applying these strategies in the synthesis of bioactive natural products and pharmaceutically important compounds.

Prof. Shyam S. Sharma is a senior professor in the Department of Pharmacology & Toxicology at NIPER Mohali, with a distinguished career in neuropharmacology and drug safety research. He holds an M.Pharm and Ph.D. in Pharmacology from AIIMS, New Delhi, and completed postdoctoral studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His research focuses on neuroprotection, diabetic complications, cognitive impairment, and safety pharmacology of new chemical entities. With over 100 publications, several patents, and decades of mentorship to postgraduate and doctoral students, Prof. Sharma has made significant contributions to pharmaceutical sciences. He has received numerous accolades, including the OPPI Scientist Award, CDRI Oration Award, and is a Fellow of the Indian Pharmacological Society (FIPS).

Dr Aparna Ganguly completed her graduation and post- graduation in Chemistry from University of Delhi and subsequently obtained her PhD in Materials Chemistry under the supervision of Professor A. K. Ganguli at IIT Delhi. After a short stint at teaching Physical Chemistry at Central University of Rajasthan, she moved back to the Nanoscale Research Facility, IIT Delhi as a scientist where she worked extensively on porous materials and their applications.
