Timothy John Brocksom received his PhD in 1968 at Liverpool University, under the guidance of Prof Sir A. R. Battersby. He then moved to Stanford University for a postdoctoral position with Prof W. S. Johnson, and in 1970 on to the University of British Columbia for a second postdoctoral with Prof J. P. Kutney. In 1972 he came to the University of São Paulo as visiting Professor, and in 1977 to the Federal University in São Carlos as full Professor. His research interests are in bio-organic chemistry, and encompass methodologies and syntheses leading to bioactive terpenoids, with emphasis on polycylic skeleton construction employing the Diels-Alder reaction and transition metal catalyzed reactions.

Kleber Thiago de Oliveira was awarded his PhD in Organic Chemistry in 2006 from the University of São Paulo (USP-RP, Ribeirão Preto), under the guidance of Prof Mauricio Constantino. He carried out postdoctorals, with Prof Cavaleiro at the University of Aveiro (2006-2007), with Prof Iamamoto at USP-RP (2008) and more recently with Prof D. T. McQuade at the Florida State University (2015). In 2009 he became a professor at the Federal University of ABC and in 2010 moved to the Federal University of São Carlos. His research is focused on synthesis and applications of photosensitizers, natural products synthesis and continuous flow processes.
