Microbial Bioremediation and Multiomics Technologies for Sustainable Development

Dr. Fuad Ameen is an Associate Professor and researcher at the Department of Botany and Microbiology, College of Science, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He graduated his Ph.D. on biodegradation of urban waste by mangrove fungi from King Saud University, Saudi Arabia. After that, he has been involved in many kinds of projects dealing with new solutions to treat polluted sites.  He has collected and studied microbial strains from arid and marine ecosystems, assessing their ability to biodegrade the most common pollutants, and his program of research on these organisms has taken him to many places and to examples of every major type of terrestrial and marine bioecosystem. Sartaj Ahmad Bhat is working as a JSPS Postdoctoral Researcher at the River Basin Research Center, Gifu University, Japan. He received his Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, India in 2017. His primary research focuses on the development and evaluation of treatment technologies for organic waste and wastewater from domestic and industrial outlets as well as organic waste recycling, with a focus on the biological and sustainable treatment by earthworms. Vineet Kumar is working as a National Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Microbiology, School of Life Sciences at Central University of Rajasthan, Rajasthan, India. He received his Ph.D. in Environmental Microbiology from Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar (A Central) University, Lucknow, India in 2018. Dr. Kumar’s research areas include bioremediation, phytoremediation, metagenomics, wastewater treatment, environmental monitoring, biofuel, and bioplastic production, and solid waste management with major focuses on the development of integrated and sustainable treatment techniques that can help in minimizing or eliminating hazardous waste or wastewater pollutants in the environment.
