About the editors
Dr. Elizabeth Ferguson serves as an Army Senior Science Technical Manager and is the Lead Technical Director (TD) for the Installations and Operational Environments (IOE) Research and Development Area and Technical Director of the Military Materials in the Environment (MME) program at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Vicksburg, Mississippi. As Lead IOE TD, Elizabeth is responsible for programmatic direction of the research areas of adaptive and resilient infrastructure (the built environment) as well as the natural environment in environmental security and resiliency, environmental intelligence and understanding and managing military materials in the environment. Dr. Ferguson holds bachelor's degrees in chemistry and psychology (1991), master's degree in radio-analytical chemistry (1994), and Ph.D. (1998) in fish physiology and aquatic toxicology from the University of Kentucky. She has authored several peer-reviewedpublications and book chapters and has presented at numerous conferences and symposia.
Dr. Jerzy Leszczynski is a Professor of Chemistry and a President's Distinguished Fellow at Jackson State University, Jackson, Mississippi, USA. His research activities cover a broad range of projects including studies of nature of chemical bonds, theoretical predictions of molecular potential energy surfaces, structures of weakly bonded complexes, properties of DNA fragments, interactions of explosives with soil, decomposition of nerve agents on metal oxides and clays, properties, and toxicity of nanomaterials. He has published over 1000 referred papers in leading journals and over 70 book chapters. He has edited and co-edited more than 50 books and has advised 30 students who already received their Ph.D. degrees. He has been cited over 40,000 times and carries an H-index of 96 (Google Scholar). His international awards include: a Guest Professorship, Chinese Academyof Sciences, Shanghai, China 2002; an Honorary Doctorates, Dnipropetrovsk National University, Ukraine 2003 and, Wroclaw University of Technology, Poland 2016, Outstanding Mississippi Chemist, ACS Mississippi Section, 2004; the Maria Sklodowska-Curie’s Medal (Medal for prominent chemists working permanently abroad) Polish Chemical Society, 2007. He has been elected for: European Academy of Sciences 2002; International Academy of Engineering, 2003; Ukrainian Ecological Academy of Sciences, 2003 and European Academy of Sciences, Arts and Humanities, 2004. In 2009 he received the USA Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring.
