Editors’ Biographies Virender K. Sharma Virender K. Sharma received his Ph.D. in Marine and Atmospheric Chemistry at the University of Miami after graduating from the Indian Institute of Technology in New Delhi, India with the Master in Technology. In January 2014, he has joined School of Public Health (SPH) at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas as a full Professor. Currently, he is serving as an Interim Head of the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, SPH. He was a visiting research scholar at Stanford University under the advisory of Professor Ed Solomon and won both the Florida Tech Faculty of the Year award in 2008 and the ACS Orlando Section Outstanding Chemist Award. He is highly active in pursuing chemistry and environmental applications of high-valent iron species. His other interests include nanoparticles in aquatic environment and in remediation of contaminated water. He has published more than 300 reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and proceedings. His books authorship and editing include Ferrates: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications in Water and Wastewater Treatment”, Sustainable Nanotechnology and the Environment: Advances and Achievements, and Interactions of Nanomaterials with Emerging Environmental Contaminants; published by Oxford University Press.
Sue-min Chang Sue-min Chang received her B.S. degree in Chemistry in June 1997 and Ph.D. degree in Atomic Science in November 2004 from National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. After a short-term postdoctoral training, she joined Institute of Environmental Engineering at National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, as an Assistant Professor in August 2005, and has been promoted to Associate Professor since 2010. Professor Chang cuts into environmental engineering from the angle of material chemistry. She devotes her efforts to develop advanced materials for environmental and energy applications. She is currently working on nanofabrication and surface modification of photocatalysts, sensing materials, and solid acids. She aims to improve the performance of conventional materials for efficient environmental treatments and invent new functional materials for the demand of ultra-clean technology.

Chien-Hou Wu Chien-Hou Wu received his B.S. in 1989 and M.S. in 1993 under the supervision of Professor Wann-Yin Lin, both in Chemistry from National Taiwan University, Taiwan. He went on to obtain his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1999 under the guidance of Professor Bruce C. Faust and Professor Janet G. Hering. He then spent one year as a postdoctoral fellow in the Power, Environmental and Energy Research Institute at California Institute of Technology under the advisory of Professor Yongchun Tang. He joined the faculty of National Tsing Hua University as an Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Environmental Sciences in 2000 and became Associate Professor in 2005. His research interests lie within the broad field of environmental chemistry and analytical chemistry. Current topics include photochemistry of copper-organic complexes in aquatic systems, synthesis of highly water-dispersible titanium dioxide nanoparticles and their photocatalysis, and development of methods for trace analysis of environmental pollutants such as ammonia, amines, and aldehydes.
