Dr. Sughosh Madhav is presently working as Postdoctoral Fellow, at the Department of Civil Engineering, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India. He obtained his master's degree from the Department of Environmental Science at Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. He earned his doctorate from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. The area of his doctoral research is the environmental impact of textile effluents on groundwater and soil quality. He worked in the fields of water quality, pollution, hydrogeochemistry, water treatment, and climate change. He has published 22 research papers and 12 book chapters in the field of environmental geochemistry, water pollution, and wastewater remediation. He has edited 12 books in Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley publications.Dr. Himanshu Gupta is Former Head of the Department of Chemistry, School of Sciences, IFTM University, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Dr. Gupta received his Ph.D. degree in the field of environmental-analytical chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT Roorkee) in 2016. Dr. Gupta’s research is focused on the determination, degradation, and removal of various environmental pollutants from water as well as wastewater. Dr. Gupta has rich experience in handling advanced techniques including UV, IR, GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, AAS, ICP-MS, flame photometry, etc. He has published several refereed book chapters/articles in professional books/journals of international repute. Dr. Gupta has organized various conferences/workshops sponsored by different agencies such as DRDO and DST. Dr. Arun Lal Srivastav is working as Associate Professor at Chitkara University, Himachal Pradesh (India). He obtained his Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India, on the adsorption of nitrate and fluoride from water. Also, he has done post-doctoral research at National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan. He is currently involved in the teaching of environmental science, environmental engineering, disaster management, and design thinking to undergraduate engineering students. His research interests include water quality surveillance, climate change, water treatment, river ecosystem, soil health maintenance, engineering education, phytoremediation, and waste management. Dr. Sirajuddin Ahmed is working as Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, Jamia Millia Islamia, (A Central University), New Delhi, India.
