Claire-Marie Pradier and Jan Paul, editors The editors have more than 20 years of combined experience after graduation in the fields of catalysis, surface science, bioinorganic chemistry, and theoretical modelling. They have extensively studied basic reactions on model catalysts, particularly hydrogenation and dehydrogenat ion reactions and C r c h e m i s t r y . Their work involves long-term connections with leading commercial laboratories in France and in the U S , connections that have proved invaluable to maintain a high industrial relevance in their reserach. Both editors have spent considerable t ime as guest researchers in foreign laboratories away from their home turf. Their work and interest in carbon dioxide chemistry recently prompted the US Materials Research Society to invite them to organize a symposium on this topic in San Francisco.
