Associate Professor Michael Oelgemöller received his Diploma from the University of Münster in 1995 and his Ph.D. in organic photochemistry from the University of Cologne in 1999. Michael was a researcher at the ERATO-JST Photochirogenesis project in Osaka (1999–2001) and at Bayer CropScience K. K. Japan in Yuki (2001–2004). From 2004 to 2008, he held a position as a lecturer in organic and medicinal chemistry at Dublin City University. In February 2009, he joined James Cook University in Townsville as an associate professor in organic chemistry, where he leads the Applied and Green Photochemistry Research Group.^[13] The activities of the group are truly multidisciplinary and range from the development of miniaturised early drug discovery tools to the solar manufacturing of chemicals, photochemical synthesis of bioactive compounds, photostability testing, and photochemical degradation of organic pollutants. Michael has received several awards and has been a visiting professor at various universities in Asia and Europe.

Dr George Vamvounis obtained his Ph.D. in polymer chemistry from Simon Fraser University in 2005. This was followed by post-doctoral positions at the Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden) and The University of Queensland and he has held prestigious fellowships from Canada (NSERC-IPS Fellowship), Sweden (Kami Post-Doctoral Fellowship) and Australia (ARC Australian Research Fellow). Currently, George is a senior lecturer in physical chemistry at James Cook University, with a research focus on polymeric and photoswitchable materials for the next generation of optoelectronic devices.
