Reiner Salzer is Professor Emeritus of Analytical Chemistry at the Dresden University of Technology (Germany). He has authored almost 300 publications and serves on various national and international scientific boards. Professor Salzer is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and a recipient of the Emich Plaque of the Austrian Society of Analytical Chemistry. Recently he also received the Clemens Winkler Medal of the GDCh (German Chemical Society), the Hanus Medal of the Czech Chemical Society and the Ioannes Marcus Marci Medal of the Czech Spectroscopic Society. Professor Salzer served as President of the Division Analytical Chemistry of the GDCh and is National Delegate to the Division Analytical Chemistry of EuCheMS, where he is Head of the Study Group Education. He is Chairman of the ECTN Label Committee for the Quality Eurolabels in Chemistry Education.
 
Heinz W. Siesler is Professor Emeritus of Physical Chemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany). After receiving his PhD in chemistry from the University of Vienna (Austria), he worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cologne (Germany) and as a lecturer at the Witwatersrand University (Johannesburg, South Africa). Prior to his academic position, he gained industrial experience as section
head in molecular spectroscopy and thermal analysis in the Corporate R&D Department of Bayer AG (Dormagen, Germany). Between 1992 and 2010 he held guest professorships in France, Japan, and Austria. Professor Siesler is a recipient of the EAS Award, the Tomas Hirschfeld Award and the Buechi Award in near-infrared spectroscopy and he is a Fellow of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. His main research focuses on the application of vibrational spectroscopy to chemical and polymer research, analysis and quality control, and he has authored more than 230 publications in this field.
