#### **Diogo M. F. Santos**

Diogo M. F. Santos is an Invited Assistant Professor at Instituto Superior Tecnico (IST, ULisboa) ´ and Researcher in the Center of Physics and Engineering of Advanced Materials (CeFEMA), studying electrodes and membranes for application in direct liquid fuel cells. D.M.F. Santos got his PhD degree in electrochemistry in 2009, focusing on developing the direct borohydride fuel cell (DBFC). He did a postdoc in Chemical Engineering on hydrogen production by alkaline water electrolysis, followed by a postdoc in Materials Science & Engineering to develop cathodes for DBFCs. As an Investigador FCT in CeFEMA (2015-20), he worked on low-cost electrocatalysts for low-temperature fuel cells.

D.M.F. Santos has authored 120 journal papers and 90 conference proceedings, and his current h index is 30 (SCOPUS). He is in the "World's Top 2% Scientists list" of Stanford University for the impact in 2020. D.M.F. Santos has presented more than 50 oral communications and 80 posters at international conferences. He is a member of renowned international societies and serves as a reviewer for over 80 scientific journals. D.M.F. Santos is the supervisor of one PhD student and one MSc student. He has completed the supervision of one Postdoc researcher, one PhD student, 17 MSc students, and 10 research internships. His main research interests are related to electrochemical energy conversion and storage.

#### **Biljana Sljuki´c ˇ**

Biljana Sljuki ˇ c Paunkovi ´ c graduated in physical chemistry at the University of Belgrade –Faculty ´ of Physical Chemistry in 1999 and received M.Sc. degree from the same institution in 2003. She received a DPhil degree in chemistry from University of Oxford in 2007. She continued her academic career at the UB - Faculty of Physical Chemistry as an associate professor and as researcher at the Center of Physics and Engineering of Advanced Materials (CeFEMA), Instituto Superior Tecnico, ´ University of Lisbon.

Biljana's research is focused on novel materials for application in electrochemistry energy conversion and storage, and she has authored more than 100 papers, two book chapters, and one university book. Furthermore, she is/was coordinator of national and international projects in the area of electrochemistry energy conversion and storage on lithium-ion and metal-air batteries. Another field of her research is development of materials for electroanalytical applications and sensors.

Biljana has supervised six defended PhD, 25 Master, 29 Undergraduate, and 21 Vocational studies theses. Besides her research and pedagogical activities, Biljana is also very active in the area of science promotion, so she is/has coordinated projects within Horizon 2020/Horizon Europe - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions European Researchers' Night program.
