Dr. Bhardwaj's research interests encompass a wide array of topics, including green synthesis of nanomaterials for water purification, bio-sensing, nano-based device fabrication, water treatment, diatom cultivation, mushroom cultivation, phytoremediation, and waste management. His contributions to the field are well-recognized, as he has published over 30 research papers in prestigious journals, including Elsevier, Springer, American Chemical Society, American Institute of Physics, MDPI, and Frontier, among others. Furthermore, Dr. Bhardwaj serves as a respected reviewer for esteemed journals such as Journals of Cleaner Production, Journals of Environmental Pollution, Bioresource Technology, Journals of Nanoparticle Research, Scientific Reports, and more. He has also edited two books in collaboration with Elsevier and Springer. His dedication to academia and research has made him a valuable asset to the scientific community and a significant influence in the field of environmental science and nanotechnology. Dr. Kuldip Dwivedi is a professor and the head of the Department of Environmental Science at Amity University Madhya Pradesh (AUMP) in Gwalior (India). In the year 2007, he received his Ph.D. on the topic "In vitro Screening and Biochemical Studies for Salt-Tolerance in Trifolium alexandrinum." He has a total of eight years of research experience and fifteen years of teaching experience. He has successfully mentored four students through the Ph.D. process. He is currently teaching and assisting graduation,postgraduate, and Ph.D students at Amity University in Gwalior in frontier areas of Environmental Science. Phytoremediation, ecological restoration, nanomaterials for environmental cleaning, biosensors for environment and agriculture, abiotic stress biology, environmental biotechnology, agro-ecological studies of crop plants, and micropropagation of important crop plants and trees are just a few of his research interests. He has over 30 research papers published in prestigious international and national journals. He's written two books for graduate students. Mika Sillanpää’s research work centers on chemical treatment in environmental engineering and environmental monitoring and analysis. The recent research focus has been on the resource recovery from waste streams.Sillanpää received his M.Sc. (Eng.) and D.Sc. (Eng.) degrees from the Aalto University where he also completed an MBA degree in 2013. Since 2000, he has been a full professor/adjunct professor at the University of Oulu, the University of Eastern Finland, the LUT University, the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Johannesburg.Dr. Arun Lal Srivastav is an Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Sciences at Chitkara University, Himachal Pradesh, India.
