CLAES-GÖRAN GRANQVIST, born 1946, is currently Senior Professor of Solid State Physics at the The Ångström Laboratory of Uppsala University in Sweden. Granqvist’s research covers materials, mostly thin surface coatings, for energy efficiency and solar energy applications particularly in the built environment. The variable-transmittance “smart” window is one example, which also forms the basis of Chromo Genics AB, a company founded by Granqvist and collaborators and presently employing some 20 persons. He is member of The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. In 2015, Granqvist received the Jan Czochralski Award for his lifetime achievements in Materials Science.
Dr. VOLODYMYR IVANOV has more than 40 years of teaching and research experience on Environmental, Industrial, and Construction Microbiology and Biotechnology in the universities of Europe, Asia, and USA. He is an author of 200 papers, patents, book chapters and 8 monographies. His textbook “Environmental Microbiology for Engineers”, Francis & Taylor, 1st (2010) and 2nd (2015) editions, was adopted for the graduate and post-graduate courses in the universities. His research experience includes the supervision and participation in the projects on biotechnologies with biofilms and biogranules, microbial transformations of iron, biocementation, bioclogging, and bioremediation of soil, microbiological monitoring of water quality.
