Dr Saira Mumtaz received her M.Sc. in chemistry at Government College University in Lahore, Pakistan, in 2005 and her M.Phil. in organic chemistry from Bahauddin Zakariya University in Multan, Pakistan, in 2007. Between 2008 and 2012, she worked as a research assistant and guest lecturer at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Pakistan. From 2013 to 2017, she conduced her Ph.D. in organic photochemistry at James Cook University in Townsville, Australia. In 2018, she joined Nelson Mandala University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, as a post-doctoral researcher.

Dr Mark Robertson received his Ph.D. in chemistry in 2002 from the University of Newcastle, Australia. He spent the following four years as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Wollongong, Australia, on a project exploring peptoid antibiotics. After a career interruption spent in the secondary school system, he returned to a post-doctoral position at the University of Newcastle, Australia. In 2015, he began his independent research career as a senior lecturer at James Cook University, Australia, where his research interests include synthetic medicinal chemistry and the use of solar power to drive chemical reactions under flow conditions.

Associate Professor Michael Oelgemöller received his diploma from the University of Münster, Germany, in 1995 and his Ph.D. from the University of Cologne, Germany, in 1999. He was a researcher at the ERATO-JST Photochirogenesis project in Osaka (1999-2001), Japan, and at Bayer CropScience in Yuki (2001-2004), Japan. From 2004 to 2008, he was a lecturer in organic and medicinal chemistry at Dublin City University, Ireland. In February 2009, he joined James Cook University in Townsville, Australia, as Associate Professor in Organic Chemistry, where he leads the Applied and Green Photochemistry Research Group. His research interests range from the development of continuous-flow photoreactors to the solar manufacturing of chemicals, photochemical synthesis of bioactive compounds, photostability testing, and photochemical degradation of organic pollutants. He has received several awards and has been a visiting professor at various universities in Asia and Europe.
