Photocatalytic Degradation of Dyes

Dr. Sushma Dave received a master of science and PhD in analytical, electrochemistry, and environmental chemistry from the Biosensor Lab in the Chemistry Department of Jai Narayan Vyas University, Jodhpur. She is involved continuously in the field of higher education teaching pure, applied chemistry, cheminformatics, nanotechnology, electrochemistry, biology, solid waste management, wastewater treatment, and environmental chemistry to students of engineering and basic sciences. She also served as a Research Associate in the Soil Biochemistry and Microbiology Division, CAZRI, Jodhpur. She has published and presented over 50 papers in international and national journals, conferences and participated in various workshops and training programs. Her areas of interest are electrochemistry, biosensors environmental science, nanotechnology, biochemistry, cheminformatics, immunoinformatics, and drug repurposing.Dr. Das received his PhD in biotechnology and served as a Scientist at the IBSD, DBT, Government of India. He is the Founder and CEO of Valnizen which deals with regulatory documents and healthcare compliances and support services to African and southeast Asian countries. He has served as a Joint Director of the Gujarat State Biotechnology Mission, DST, and Joint Director to Gujarat Biotechnology Research Centre, DST, both from the Government of Gujarat. He has served as a Director of the Savli Technology and Business Incubator, DST, Government of Gujarat, India. He was actively involved in the development and implementation of various policies and action plans like biotechnology policy, innovation policy, interpole disaster management policy, start-up policy for many universities and governments. His research team is involved in addressing societal challenges via cutting-edge research, namely, the development of molecular diagnostics for infectious diseases, the development of universal vaccine candidate for emerging diseases, the development of miRNA-based targeted therapeutics, and artificial intelligence in healthcare applications.Dr. Maulin P. Shah is an active researcher and microbial biotechnologist with diverse research interest. His primary interest is the environment, the quality of our living resources and the ways that bacteria can help to manage and degrade toxic wastes and restore environmental health. Consequently, His work has been focused to assess the impact of industrial pollution on microbial diversity of wastewater following cultivation dependant and cultivation independent analysis.
