Francisco Torrens is lecturer in physical chemistry at the Universitat de València. After obtaining a PhD in molecular associations in azines and macrocycles from the Universitat de València, Dr. Torrens undertook postdoctoral research with Professor Rivail at the Université de Nancy I. More recently, Dr. Torrens has collaborated on projects with Professors Tomás-Vert, Salgado and Castellano. Major research projects include prediction of the environmental impact of chemical substances using chemobioinformatics tools, discovery of new inhibitors of tyrosinase: computational design, synthesis, characterization and experimental corroboration, search for new antimicrobial agents that inhibit the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall, minimal active domains of proteins of the Bcl2 family, development and application of quantum chemistry methods and techniques to studies of drugs, analysis of pores of BAX at nanometric scale and study of the in vivo antioxidant capacity of phenolic compounds through QSAR/QSPR modelling: crossing of the blood-brain barrier and interactions with cytochromes and drugs. His scientific accomplishments include the first implementation in a computer at the Universitat de València of a program for the elucidation of crystallographic structures and the construction of the first computational-chemistry program adapted to a vector-facility supercomputer in a Spanish university.

Dr El-Dessouky is a Senior Research Fellow in FRP Composites at University of Sheffield-AMRC with Boeing. He received his BSc, MSc, PhD degrees in Physics from Mansoura University, Egypt. He has over 20 years’ experience in multidisciplinary areas of research include Fibres, Polymers, Nano-additives, Technical textiles and FRP Composites. Since 1999, he published 45 papers in high quality international journals and conferences. He had a patent on novel spread tow prepreg for thermoplastic composite applications. He had 3 book chapters on textiles treatment and composites manufacturing. He is a reviewer and an editorial board member for many journals in the field. He is a member of SAMPE, Fibre Society and IOM3-British Composite Society. From 2013 to date at the University of Sheffield AMRC with Boeing, Dr El-Dessouky have established the thermoplastic and dry fibre processing facility including 3D weaving for composite preforming applications. From 2006 to 2013, he worked for University of Leeds as a research fellow on different research projects on polymer fibre spinning, nanocomposites and FRP composites. From 1996 to 2006, he was heavily involved in teaching physics modules for under- and post-graduates at Mansoura University in Egypt. Dr El-Dessouky have received research funding over £1.5m.
