Miren López de Alda holds a PhD in Pharmacy from the University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain. She completed her postdoctoral research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Maryland, USA, and has been a researcher at IDAEA-CSIC since 1998. Dr. López de Alda's research focuses on analyzing priority and emerging pollutants in the environment by target and non-target HRMS-based techniques to evaluate their presence, origin, fate, and impact on both the environment and human health, and on analyzing wastewater for epidemiological and reuse purposes. She has participated in 47 research projects, published 222 scientific articles and 33 book chapters, and has made more than 350 contributions to national and international conferences. Her work has been cited 17000 times, and she has an H-index of 81.Cristina Postigo holds a PhD in Sciences from the University of Barcelona, Spain. She spent two years as a postdoctoral researcher at the US Environmental Protection Agency in Triangle Research Park, NC, USA, followed by a tenure at IDAEA-CSIC in Barcelona, Spain, from 2015 to 2021. In 2022, she began a tenure-track position as a Ramon y Cajal researcher at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Granada, Spain. Dr. Postigo's research focuses on adapting water treatments to control and reduce the presence of emerging organic pollutants and the formation of disinfection byproducts in water. She employs advanced analytical technologies to characterize water treatment performance. She has participated in 10 research projects, published 74 scientific articles, and authored 20 book chapters. Additionally, she has made over 100 contributions to national and international conferences.Božo Žonja holds a PhD in Chemical Sciences from the University of Barcelona, Spain (2017). He was a Marie Curie Fellow at the IDAEA-CSIC Institute in Barcelona and later a postdoctoral researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala, Sweden. Since 2021, he has been a Mass Spectrometry Specialist at Waters Corporation, and is based in Geneva, Switzerland. Dr. Žonja's expertise lies in mass spectrometry, with a particular focus on developing new analytical methods for identifying unknown chemicals and transformation products, structural elucidation of transformation products, and suspect screening/non-target analysis using high-resolution mass spectrometry. He has contributed to 8 research projects, published 20 scientific articles, and authored 4 book chapters. His work has been cited 1200 times, and he has an H-index of 15.
