Royce W. Murray is Kenan Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received his B.S. from Birmingham Southern College in 1957 and his Ph.D. from Northwestern University in 1960. His research areas are analytical chemistry and materials science with specialized interests in electrochemical techniques and reactions, chemically derivatized surfaces in electrochemistry and analytical chemistry, electrocatalysis, polymer films and membranes, solid state electrochemistry and transport phenomena, and molecular electronics. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Jeffrey Long (left) was born in Great Falls, Montana in 1970, but he spent most of his early years in Winston-Salem, NC. He received a B.S. in Chemistry with Honors from Wake Forest University in 1992. Working with Prof. Royce Murray, he earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1997. His research focuses on nanostructured materials, particularly hybrid nanoarchitectures for applications in sensing, separations, and electrochemical energy storage and conversion. 

Debra R. Rolison is head of Advanced Electrochemical Materials at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). She received a B.S. in chemistry from Florida Atlantic University in 1975 and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1980 under the direction of Royce W. Murray. Dr. Rolison joined the Naval Research Laboratory as a research chemist in 1980. Her research at NRL focuses on the influence of nanoscale domains on electron- and charge-transfer reactions, with special emphasis on the surface and materials science of aerogels, electrocatalysts, and zeolites. Her program creates new nano structured materials and composites for catalytic chemistries, energy storage and conversion (fuel cells, supercapacitors, batteries, thermoelectric devices), and sensors.

We like to cite the definition of a modified electrode given by Royce Murray in his chapter of Bard s Electroanalytical Chemistry series [6], based on the goals pursued through the modification ... one deliberately seeks in some hopefully rational fashion to immobilize a chemical on an electrode surface so that the electrode thereafter displays the chemical, electr(x hemical, optical, and other properties of the immobilized molecule(s) (...) one selects immobilized chemicals...
