Phytomanagement of Polluted Sites

Dr. Vimal Chandra Pandey is an applied research scientist of phyto- and phycoremediation at Chandigarh University, India. He obtained his PhD from Dr. RML Avadh University and conducted post-doctoral research at Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, India. Dr. Pandey’s research focuses on the remediation and management of polluted sites using ecologically and socio-economically valuable plants and algae. His work focuses strongly on restoring ecosystem services and developing a bio-based economy in support of the UN SDGs. Dr. Pandey is a member of the IUCN commission on Ecosystem Management and the National Academy of Sciences, India. He is the author and editor of several books, including Elsevier’s Algae and Aquatic Macrophytes in Cities, Bioremediation of Pollutants, and more. Dr. Kuldeep Bauddh is currently an Assistant Professor of Environmental Science at the Centre for Environmental Sciences, Central University of Jharkhand, Ranchi, India. Dr. Bauddh is currently engaged in teaching in key areas of environmental sciences like Environmental Pollution and Management, Environmental Chemistry, Environmental Toxicology, Soil Science, and Hazardous Waste Management. He is also an Associate Editor of the journal “Climate Change and Environmental Sustainability” as well as the co-editor of the magazine “Kahaar”. His main research areas are phytoremediation, ecological restoration and slow release fertilizers.
