Lotfi Shiri was born in Baghdad (Iraq). He obtained his B.Sc. in applied chemistry from Mazandaran University, and his M.Sc. in organic chemistry from the same university in 2001 under the supervision of Professor Mahmood Tajbakhsh. He received his Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Professor Ramin Ghorbani-Vaghei in 2013. His current interests are in the synthesis of N-halo reagents and heterogeneous catalysts and their applications in organic synthesis.

Arash Ghorbani-Choghamarani finished his B.S. studies in applied chemistry at Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamadan, Iran (2001) and received his M.Sc. in organic chemistry under the supervision of Professor Mohammad Ali Zolfigol (2003). He subsequently began his Ph.D. studies in organic chemistry with the same supervisor in same university. During the Ph.D. program, he completed a sabbatical fellowship with Professor Robert H.E. Hudson at the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada (September 2005 to September 2006). He obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2007. He then joined the Department of Chemistry at Ilam University, Ilam, Iran, as a faculty member. He is currently Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry.

Mosstafa Kazemi was born in Ilam, Iran. He received his M.S. degree in organic chemistry from Ilam University in 2013. Currently he is working towards his Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Assistant Professor Lotfi Shiri in the Department of Chemistry at Ilam University. His current interests are focussed on the development of new strategies for the synthesis of heterogeneous catalysts, in the form of nanoparticles, and their application in the synthesis of organosulfur and heterocyclic compounds in line with the concept of modern green synthetic chemistry.
