Elsie Sunderland, Editor-in-Chief

Harvard University, USA

Elsie Sunderland is the Fred Kavli Professor of Environmental 九州影院 and Professor of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Harvard University, where she leads the Biogeochemistry of Global Contaminants Research Group. Her research aims to better understand how chemical pollutants interact with natural ecosystems and affect life.

Her group’s work quantitatively analyses the entire exposure pathway for pollutants to identify key processes that have a large influence on their accumulation in living organisms. Her group’s research approach combines environmental measurements with statistical and mechanistic models to project chemical levels over space and time.

Dr Ludmilla Aristilde is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and (by courtesy) the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University.

Her research group employs a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches to gain insights into the biological and chemical mechanisms that control environmental organic processes, towards predicting natural carbon cycling and innovating engineered carbon recycling. Research findings from her group have led to new mechanistic considerations in biogeochemical pathways for microbial nutrient recycling, fate of organic contaminants in environmental matrices, and biotechnology for lignin and plastics recycling.
