Catalysis in Ionic Liquids

Chris Hardacre recieved his Ph.D. degree in 1994 from the University of Cambridge, UK. In 1995, following SERC and Emmanuel College research fellowships he obtained a Lectureship in Physical Chemistry at the Queen's University of Belfast where he became professor of Physical Chemistry in 2003. His research interests include heterogeneous catalysis, synchrotron radiation, catalytic organic transformations, structure-reactivity correlations and ionic liquids. Vasile I. Parvulescu Is Professor, Director of the Department of Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and Catalysis and Director of the Center of Catalysis and Catalytic Processes at the University of Bucharest, Romania. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from the Polytechnic University of Bucharest in 1986. He spent several years as high-signor researcher at the Institute of Inorganic and Rare Metals, until he moved to the University of Bucharest in 1992 and became a full professor in 1999.
