Dr. Ahmed Barhoum is an Associate Professor of nanomaterials science and Head of the Nanostruc Research Group (Helwan University). He is currently working at the DCU University (Ireland). His research interests include the synthesis of nanomaterials for catalysis, drug delivery, and biosensing. He has won several scientific awards and prizes: Helwan University Prizes (Egypt, 2020 & 2019), CAS Fellowship (China, 2019), IFE Fellowships (France, 2012 & 2018), FWO Fellowships (Belgium, 2015 & 2016), Medastar Erasmus Mundus (Belgium, 2012), Welcome Program (Italy, 2012) and many more. He serves as an expert evaluator for the National Science Centre (NCN, Poland), Czech Science Foundation (GACR, Russia), Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF, Switzerland), and Innovators Support Fund (ISF, Egypt), among others. He is on the editorial board of Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, Frontiers in Nanotechnology, Nanomaterials, and editor of 10 handbooks (Elsevier and Springer Nature), PI/Co-PI of 12 projects, and co-author of 150 publications. Dr. Jaison Jeevanandam is a Senior Researcher at the National Institute of Mental Health (NUDZ) in the Czech Republic. He earned his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Curtin University, Malaysia. He has extensive experience in nanoparticle synthesis, particularly green synthesis using plant extracts, as well as nanoparticle characterization, cytotoxicity analysis, and in vitro diabetic models. His current research focuses on the application of nanobiotechnology in the development of nanoformulations for drug delivery systems.Dr. Danquah is a full Professor and the Director of Chemical Engineering Program at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, United States. He is a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng), Chartered Scientist (CSci) and a Fellow of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE). Dr. Danquah’s research focuses on the utilization of bioprocess and biomolecular engineering principles to develop emerging biopharmaceuticals, biosensing and molecular separation systems; environmental bioremediation systems; and biofuels and bio-products. Dr. Danquah’s research findings are well published and cited with over 230 peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, conference publications and technical reports. His research has also resulted in intellectual properties and patent applications, large-scale manufacturing plants, and commercialized products and formulations.
