Maria Hepel Maria Hepel received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry from Jagellonian University in Krakow, Poland. She was a postdoctoral fellow at SUNY Buffalo. From 1985, she worked as the Faculty at the State University of New York at Potsdam where she is now a Distinguished Professor and Chair of the Department of Chemistry. She published over 144 papers, 25 chapters in books, and has made over 400 presentations at the international, national and regional symposia. She organized several symposia and has been the program chair of the 2010 North-East Regional Meeting of ACS. Her current research interests include DNA intercalation sensors, piezoimmunosensors, sensors for biomarkers of oxidative stress, fluorescence energy transfer (FRET and NSET), DNA-hybridization biosensors, photovoltaics, and electrochromic devices. She won the SUNY Potsdam President’s Award for Excellence in Research and Creative Endeavor in 1995 and 2001, the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1998 and SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Research in 2003. She received the Northeast Region Award for Achievements in the Chemical Sciences at the Rochester Meeting NERM 2012 of the American Chemical Society.
Chuan-Jian Zhong Chuan-Jian Zhong is Professor of Chemistry at State University of New York at Binghamton. He was Max-Planck-Society postdoctoral fellow at Fritz Haber Institute after receiving his Ph.D. at Xiamen University in 1989, and continued his postdoctoral work at University of Minnesota in 1991. He was associate scientist at Iowa State University/DOE-Ames Laboratory before joining the SUNY Binghamton faculty in 1998. His research interests include analytical and materials chemistry, catalysis, electrochemistry, and emerging fields of nanotechnology, focusing on challenging issues in chemical sensing and biomolecular recognition, and in green energy production, conversion and storage. He received NSF Career Award, SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities, SUNY Innovation, Creation and Discovery Award, and 3M Faculty Research Award. He is the author of over 170 peer-reviewed research articles, the inventor of 11 U.S. patents, and has given over 100 invited talks at national/international conferences and university/industry/national lab seminars.
