## **About the Editors**

#### **Jordi Mart´ı**

Jordi Mart´ı is an Associate Professor of Physics at the Department of Physics of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia-Barcelona Tech (UPC). He got his Ph.D. degree in Physics at the University of Barcelona and has been a visiting professor at the University of California-Berkeley, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina and the Atomic Energy Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, among others. He is a scientific coordinator of the research group on "Computer Simulation in Condensed Matter" at UPC.

He has made significant contributions to the study of microscopic dynamics of water, especially on the interpretation of molecular vibrations and has authored pioneering works on single and collective dynamics of hydrogen-bonded liquids. His present research interests include structure and dynamics of aqueous and ionic systems, intermolecular proton transfer in confined liquids, nucleation of helium in liquid metals and the molecular modeling and simulation of biomembranes, with especial attention paid to the interaction of oncogenic proteins with cell membranes and to the design of suitable new drugs for tumor treatment. He has published 90 scientific articles in international peer-reviewed journals with about 4000 citations and has presented around 60 communications in international conferences and workshops (h-index 38). He is a member of the editorial board of journals: MDPI *Materials* (Soft Matter section), *Frontiers in Nanotechnology and Graphene*.

#### **Carles Calero**

Dr. Calero earned his Ph.D. in Physics at the City University of New York (CUNY, USA) under the supervision of Dist. Prof. E. M. Chudnovsky. He held post-doctoral appointments at the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Barcelona (was awarded a JAE-doc fellowship), at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya and at Boston University in the group of H. E. Stanley. Since ` 2016 he works in the Condensed Matter Physics Department of the University of Barcelona.

His main research line addresses the theoretical description of colloidal systems, focusing on the dynamics of aggregation of colloids and the interfacial phenomena which determine the stability conditions of colloidal suspensions. For his research, Dr. Calero employs tools based on statistical mechanics and a range of computer simulation techniques. His research has an interdisciplinary character, with publications in physics, materials science, physical chemistry and biophysics journals.
