His track record of innovation and successful introduction of new technologies includes the authorship of more than 200 scientific papers and patents, the invention of Thiamethoxam (Actara�, Cruiser�), one of the leading insecticides worldwide, and major contributions to the discovery of several new active ingredients currently in worldwide development, such as spiropidion, isocycloseram, cyclobutrifluram and a malaria vector control agent. His scientific contributions also led to numerous invitations as speaker and/or co-organizer of many international congresses, including IUPAC Crop Protection congresses. Ir.

Ghent University, Belgium. Sven Mangelinckx is co-director of the SynBioC Research Group, Ghent University, Belgium. SynBioC is broadly active in the synthesis of medicinal and crop protection compounds, isolation of natural products, modification of bioresources, green chemistry, microreactor technology and chemical biology.
He obtained a PhD in chemistry in 2006 at Ghent University. Afterwards, he was a postdoctoral fellow of the Scientific Research Fund of Flanders with a research stay at the RWTH Aachen, Germany and received the Thieme Chemistry Journal Award in 2013. Since 2013, he is professor at the Department of Green Chemistry and Technology, (co-)author of 100 scientific papers, >100 conference abstracts, and (co-)promoter of 16 PhD students. He has been acting as organic chemistry section editor of Molecules, co-chairman of Bioheterocycles 2019 and national chairman of the scientific committee of topic 3 'Discovery and Optimization of Crop Protection Products' of the 14th International IUPAC Congress on Crop Protection.
