Alumni of our Editorial Board
We thank our past Editorial Board Members for their help and support for Communications Chemistry.
Aloysius Soon
orcid.org/0000-0002-6273-9324
Research interests: Fundamental understanding of the chemistry and physics of materials, probed via novel first-principles computational methods (coupled with modern machine learning methods). Simulations of polyatomic systems to understand and predict the structure and properties of solids and their surfaces.
Prof Aloysius Soon served on the Editorial Board from 2023 to 2024, whilst working at Yonsei University, Republic of Korea.
María Escudero-Escribano
orcid.org/0000-0002-6432-3015
Research interests: Tailored electrochemical interfaces for renewable energy conversion, and electrosynthesis of green fuels and value-added chemicals.
Dr María Escudero-Escribano served on the Editorial Board from 2020 to 2023, whilst working at University of Copenhagen, Denmark, and later Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Spain.
Carolina Horta Andrade
orcid.org/0000-0003-0101-1492
Research interests: Computer-aided and artificial intelligence-oriented drug design, aiming at discovering new drug candidates for neglected and emerging diseases. Development and application of AI tools and QSAR models for the prediction of toxicity properties of chemical compounds.
Dr Carolina Horta Andrade served on the Editorial Board from 2020 to 2022, whilst working at Federal University of Goiás, Brazil.
Ratmir Derda
orcid.org/0000-0003-1365-6570
Research interests: Genetically-encoded chemistry; late-stage modifications of peptides; proteins and bacteriophages; ligand discovery; chemistry and information; molecular recognition; glycans and glycan-binding proteins.
Dr Ratmir Derda served on the Editorial Board from 2021 to 2022, whilst working at University of Alberta, Canada.
Akane Kawamura
orcid.org/0000-0003-1169-5082
Research interests: Chemical biology approaches to understanding the molecular mechanisms of epigenetic regulation. This includes biochemical and mechanistic studies on enzymes involved in histone modifications, and the development of chemical probes targeting these enzymes.
Dr Akane Kawamura served on the Editorial Board from 2018 to 2020, whilst working at University of Oxford, UK and later Newcastle University, UK.
