Completed Ph.D. from Aligarh Muslim University, India in 2010. Completed Postdoctoral from School of Chemical Sciences, University Sains Malaysia (USM) in Electroanalytical chemistry in 2010. Working in the field of synthetic biosensor, polymer composites, organic–inorganic electrically conducting nanocomposites. More than 200 research articles, 70 book chapters 30 books published in referred international publisher and more than 20 international conferences/ workshop. More than 30 research projects completed. Editorial board member of more than 11 international journals. Member of American Nano Society.Mohammad Mujahid Ali Khan obtained his PhD from Aligarh Muslim University in 2015. He is actively engaged in researchon the synthesis, characterization, electrochemical study and transport phenomena of composite membranes for desalination and waste water treatment applications. He has been teaching applied chemistry to students [Diploma Eng.] in the University Polytechnic, Aligarh Muslim University, India. He has published 29 papers in journals of high repute such as Desalination, Material Science and Eng C and the Journal of Industrial and Eng Chemistry etc. He has also participated in 18 National and International conferences and symposium. Dr. Shakeel Khan currently working as professor in the Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. Obtained his Ph.D. degree in the area of High Tc Superconductivity from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. His current area of research interest are manganites, ferrites and dilute magnetic semiconductors. He has published several papers in the reputed refereed journals like Physics Letters A, Physica C, Solid State Communications, Journal of Applied Physics etc For about two decades, Prof. Francis Verpoort has carried out broad and fruitful teaching and research activity at Ghent University in various areas of materials chemistry, including organometallics, catalysis, molecular spectroscopy, related with notable applications in the production of fine chemicals and advanced polymeric materials. He has developed an extensive international scientific cooperation with scientists worldwide, taking part as an active member in different international scientific organizations, as well as in numerous successful bilateral collaboration projects with foreign academic institutions and universities across Europe, China, Russia, India, and in the UAE. In 2011, he was also appointed as Chair Professor at Wuhan University of Technology, China, where he established a research group covering organometallics and materials chemistry. Prof. Verpoort’s main research interests concern the structure and mechanisms of organometallic material chemistry, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, MOFs and MOPs, Porous Organic Polymers (POPs), water splitting, olefin metathesis and its applications in fine chemicals and polymers, CO2 conversion, polymers. A particular specialism is the application of MOFs, POPs for the environment, water purification, and downstream upgrading applications. ARSHAD UMAR is presently working as a Professor in the Civil Engineering department, AMU-Aligarh and has more than twenty nine years teaching experience. The areas of specialization are Structural Engineering, Structures and Engineering Materials. He has published fifty-two research papers in international journals/ national journals/ international and national conferences of repute. Some of the journals in which papers have been published include International Journal of Offshore Mechanic and Arctic Engineering (OMAE), Transactions of the ASME, Journal of Ocean Engineering, Elsevier Science publication, Computers & Structures, Steel and Composite Structures, Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures, Journal of Structural Engineering and Journal of Advances in Vibration Engineering.
