Biotemplated Catalysts

Dr. Mohammad Amin Makarem is a research associate at Taylor's University, Malaysia. He former worked at Shiraz University. His research interests are gas separation and purification, nanofluids, microfluidics, catalyst synthesis, reactor design and green energy. In gas separation, his focus is on experimental and theoretical investigation and optimization of pressure swing adsorption process, and in the gas purification field, he is working on novel technologies such as microchannels. Recently, he has investigated methods of synthesizing bio-template nanomaterials and catalysts. Besides, he has collaborated in writing and editing various books and book-chapters for famous publishers such as Elsevier, Springer and Wiley, as well as guest editing journals special issues.Maryam Meshksar is a research associate at Shiraz University. Her research has focused on gas separation, clean energy, and catalyst synthesis. In gas separation, she is working on membrane separation process, and in the clean energy field, she has worked on different reforming-based processes for syngas production from methane experimentally. She has also synthesized novel catalysts for these processes which are tested in for the first time. Besides, she has reviewed novel technologies like microchannels for energy production. Recently, she has written various book-chapters for famous publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley. Uddandarao Priyanka is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biotechnology, National Institute of Technology Andhra Pradesh, India. Her current research work focuses on nanobiohybrids for the production of value-added products and the degradation of organic pollutants, and her wider areas of research expertise include environmental biotechnology, bioprocess development, value-added products, pollutant removal, heavy metal removal, and chalcogens.
