**About the Editors**

#### **Maria Luisa Astolfi**

Maria Luisa Astolfi is Researcher of Analytical Chemistry at Sapienza University of Rome (Italy), where she received her Master's degree in Chemistry and her PhD degree in Chemical Sciences. Her research interests focus on the development of new analytical methods in environmental, analytical, and bioanalytical fields based on spectroscopic techniques. In particular, she develops innovative approaches for the elemental characterization of environmental and biological complex matrices. Dr. Astolfi's contribution to the field includes more than 79 manuscripts, various congress communications, one patent, and one book chapter, and she has served as a guest editor for seven Special Issues with demonstrable scientific impact (based on Scopus, h-index 24, 80 papers, 1422 citations). She is an Editorial Board member of five scientific journals and has peer reviewed several manuscripts.

#### **Maria Pia Sammartino**

Maria Pia Sammartino is a senior researcher in Analytical Chemistry with a PhD in Chemical Sciences. She has over 25 years' experience in leading research in the field of Analytical Chemistry in the application of analytical methods, including modeling studies (with multivariate and chemometric techniques) of physical chemistry on the kinetics and thermodynamics of degradation processes, for the characterization of cultural heritage materials and their degradation products, both for conservation and for microclimatic monitoring of the environments in which they are stored. The objective of her research is the development of innovative and improved analytical procedures compared to those regulated or commonly used. She is author and co-author of more than 95 original research articles in peer-reviewed journals with H-index 24 (Scopus). She has supervised several PhD theses and dissertations, and has served as a reviewer for many scientific articles in international scientific journals.

#### **Emanuele Dell'Aglio**

In 2017, Emanuele Dell'Aglio graduated cum laude in Science and Technology in the Conservation of Cultural Heritage at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. He is currently a freelancer and collaborates with research institutes, *Soprintendenze*, and restorers in diagnostic investigations relating to restoration projects. In particular, he deals with the conservation and restoration of archaeological wood. He has participated in national and international projects on the monitoring of degradation phenomena and the development of alternative products for restoration. He is the author of 15 original research articles in peer-reviewed journals.
