Damien Arrigan studied analytical science (B.Sc.(Hons)) at the National Institute for Higher Education, Dublin (now Dublin City University), and worked in the biotechnology industry for two years before undertaking his Ph.D. in analytical chemistry at the National University of Ireland, Cork, with Professor G. Svehla. He subsequently held research and academic appointments in Ireland and the United Kingdom before arriving in Australia, to Curtin University, at the end of 2009, where he holds a research academic appointment as Professor. His research interests are in electroanalytical chemistry and electrochemical sensors, and he teaches various aspects of analytical chemistry at undergraduate and honours levels. He serves on the advisory board of Analyst and on the editorial board of Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, and is editor of the recently published volume, Electrochemical Strategies in Detection Science (Royal Society of Chemistry Books).

Eva Alvarez de Eulate received her B.Sc.(Hons) degree in chemistry from the Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona, Spain, in 2005, and her M.Sc. degree from University College Cork, Cork, Ireland, in 2008. She was a research assistant at the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia, University of Barcelona, during 2008–2010, and subsequently obtained her Ph.D. degree from Curtin University, Perth, Australia (2014). Currently she is a post-doctoral research associate in Professor Damien Arrigan's group at the same university. Her research interests are in solid/liquid and liquid/liquid electrochemical sensors and biosensors.

Yang Liu obtained her B.Eng. degree from Changchun University of Technology, China, in 2005 and her Ph.D. degree from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in 2011. She worked as a post-doctoral researcher with Professors Chang Ming Li and Lianxi Zheng at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, from September 2011 to September 2013. She has been a post-doctoral research associate in Professor Damien Arrigan's group at Curtin University, Australia, since October 2013. Dr Liu's research interests include carbon/metal nanomaterials for electrochemical sensing applications and analytical behaviour of electrochemistry at liquid–liquid interfaces.
