Dr. Basak is an adjunct professor in the department of chemistry and department of biochemistry & molecular biology at the University of Minnesota Duluth. He received his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Calcutta in 1980. He is a member of several academic societies, including International Society for Mathematical Chemistry, of which he is President, and is a US Chair in the organization of thirteen international mathematical chemistry workshops in USA, South America, and various universities/ research institutes in India. He was awarded ARA Journal Best Paper Award, American Romanian Academy of Arts and Sciences (2004) and Statistics in Chemistry Award, American Statistical Association (2004).

Guillermo Restrepo is a Researcher jointly at the Institute for Studies of Science (ISoS), Bielefeld University, Germany and at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig, Germany. He is a theoretical chemist, historian of science and data scientist. He is an expert on the mathematical and computational analysis of large-scale chemical data sets and the 2020 recipient of the Gmelin–Beilstein-Denkmünze of the German Chemical Society. His research is primarily devoted to mathematical chemistry and its relationship with philosophy and history of chemistry. He is Editor-in-chief of the journal Theory in Biosciences.

Theoretical chemistry, history, and philosophy of chemistry are some of the scientific interests of Professor José L. Villaveces. His approaches to theoretical chemistry range from quantum chemistry to mathematical chemistry, where topology plays a central role. Another interest is scientometrics, which is combined with his expertise in science administration and science policy. He is currently adviser to research of the Universidad de los Andes where he also teaches.
