Dr. Peng Huang is a Distinguished Professor, Chief of the Laboratory of Evolutionary Theranostics (LET), and Director of the Department of Molecular Imaging, at the School of Biomedical Engineering, Shenzhen University Health Science Center, China. He received his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2012. He then joined the Laboratory of Molecular Imaging and Nanomedicine (LOMIN) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a postdoctoral fellow. In 2015, he moved to Shenzhen University as a Distinguished Professor. His research focuses on molecular imaging, nanomedicine, and theranostics. Dr. Huang was ranked in the top 1% of the highly cited authors community of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2020 and 2021 and selected as the 2020 and 2021 Global Highly Cited Researcher in the field of Cross-Field by Clarivate.

Dr. Nesrin Horzum studied chemistry at the Pamukkkale University, Turkey, in 2004. She did her M.Sc. and Ph.D. studies in the Department of Chemistry at the Izmir Institute of Technology. She received her doctoral degree in 2013 from the Izmir Institute of Technology, with a thesis about the applications of electrospun nanofibers in filtration processes. During her Ph.D., she joined the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in 2011 as a visiting scholar, investigating colloid electrospinning and surface functionalization of electrospun nanofibers. In 2014, she joined the group of Prof. Bo Liedberg at the Nanyang Technological University, where she worked at Centre for Biomimetic Sensor Science on paper-based sensing platforms. She is now Associate Professor in the Izmir Kâtip Çelebi University, Turkey. Her current research interests include filtration and sensing applications of polymeric and hybrid nanofibers, as well as smartphone-based sensors for water quality monitoring and glucose detection.
