Prof. Gozin is an Editor-in-Chief of the Energetic Materials Frontiers journal and an Editorial Board member of Defence Technology journal.

Prof. Leonid L. Fershtat graduated from the D. I. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology in 2012 (Faculty of the Higher Chemical College of the Russian Academy of Sciences). He received his Ph.D. degree from the N. D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry (the Russian Academy of Sciences) in 2015. He continued his research at the same institute and obtained his habilitation in organic chemistry in 2020. Prof. Fershtat has authored over 50 scientific publications and he is an Editorial Board Member of the Defence Technology and Energetic Materials Frontiers journals. Scientific interests of Prof. Fershtat include development of novel synthetic methodologies for preparation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, and search for pharmacologically active and high energy heterocyclic compounds.
