Dr. Andreas N. Angelakis is a Water Resources Engineer at the National Agric. Res. Foundation, Institute of Iraklion, Greece and Technical Consultant of Hellenic Union of Municipal Enterprises for Water Supply and Sewerage.

His scientific fields of interest are: environmental engineering; aquatic wastewater management systems; water and wastewater management for small and decentralized systems; treated wastewater renovation and reuse; and water and wastewater technologies in ancient civilizations. He is the author/co-author of over 450 publications. He has over 3000 SCH citations and an i10-index of 58. He has participated in the organizing/scientific committee of more than 120 international symposia and/or conferences in the last 25 years.

Name: Prof. Dr. Fi-John Chang

Affiliation: Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan

Prof. Dr. Fi-John Chang currently works at the Department of Bioenvironmental Systems Engineering at the National Taiwan University. He does research in hydrology, water resources management, ecological engineering, and environmental engineering by using artificial intelligence techniques (ANNs, evolution algorithms, fuzzy logical, machine learning. He is Associate Editor of Journal of Hydrology, Hydrological Science Journal, and Water.

Name: Prof. Dr. Dionysios (Dion) D. Dionysiou

Affiliation: Environmental Engineering and Science Program, Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering (ChEE), University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, USA

Prof. Dr. Dionysiou performs research in the fields of (i) advanced oxidation technologies for water treatment, (ii) drinking water treatment and purification, (iii) physicochemical phenomena on particle-water interfaces, (iv) transition-metal oxidation and reverse electron transfer reactions, (v) the use of ionic liquids in environmental applications, (vi) destruction of biological toxins in water, and (vii) environmental nanotechnology (fundamental, fate, transport, and applications of nanomaterials). At the University of Cincinnati, Professor Dionysiou teaches graduate courses in the fields of (i) Advanced Unit Operations for the Treatment of Drinking Water and Wastewater, (ii) Physical-Chemical Processes for Water Quality Control, and (iii) Advanced Oxidation Technologies and Nanotechnologies. He also teaches a graduate level laboratory course on Unit Operations and Process Monitoring for the Treatment of Polluted Water and Air and an undergraduate course in Environmental Engineering Fundamentals and Process Design.

Name: Dr. David Dunkerley

Affiliation: School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, 9 Rainforest Walk, Clayton Campus, Monash University, Victoria 3800, Australia

Dr. David Dunkerley currently works at the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment, at Monash University. Dr. Dunkerley does research in rainfall; rainfall intensity profiles; infiltration; runoff and overland flow production; ephemeral streamflow; ecohydrology; ecohydrology of arid environments; hydraulics of shallow overland flow; flow speeds in overland flow; and instrumentation for surface water hydrology.

Name: Prof. Dr. Fernando António Leal Pacheco

Affiliation: Department of Geology, Chemistry Research Centre, University of Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro, Quinta de Prados, 5001–801 Vila Real, Portugal

Prof. Dr. Fernando A. L. Pacheco was born in 1967 in Mozambique. He holds a B.Sc. in Engineering Geology (1991) from the Coimbra University (Portugal), with an ERASMUS student specialization in Geochemistry (1991) from the Utrecht University (The Netherlands); an M.Sc. in Geosciences, with a specialization in Environment and Territory Management (1996) from the Coimbra University (Portugal); a Ph.D. degree in Hydrogeology (2001) from the Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro University – UTAD (Portugal); and an Habilitation title in Environmental Geochemistry (2011) from the UTAD. He is currently an Associate Professor of Hydrogeology and Environmental Geochemistry at the UTAD. He was the Head of Geology Department between 2013 and 2021 and a member of Life and Environment School of UTAD between 2017 and 2021. He joined the Vila Real Chemistry Research Centre in 2005, where he still develops most of his research, but he also collaborates with various Brazilian research groups, namely the POLUS—Land Use Policy group from the São Paulo State University (UNESP). He has published over 100 research papers in international journals, co-authored by nearly 120 scientists from various countries (Portugal, the Netherlands, Brazil, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Spain), and participated in many and integrated the organizing and scientific committees of many national and international conferences and seminars.

We wish the new Advisory Board Members every success in both their research and the development of the journal.
