Emerging Aquatic Contaminants

Dr. Manish Kumar is an assistant professor at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. He earned his PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan. He has more than >130 international journal publications. He is the recipient of recognitions like Expert Panel for UNEP on antimicrobial resistance, Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC), Best Research Award at 4th IWA Asia Pacific Water Young Professional Conference, Global Change Research (GCR) Grant from Asia Pacific Network, DST young scientist grant, JSPS Research Fellowship, Centre of Excellence (CoE) Young Researcher Fund, and Linnaeus-Palme Grant from SIDA, Sweden. He renders the editorial service to several reputed journals. Dr. Sanjeeb Mohapatra works as a Marie Skłodowska Curie Postdoctoral (MSC) Fellow at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Prior to this position, he worked as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at the National University of Singapore. His research interest broadly covers the monitoring of emerging contaminants (ECs), photoelectrochemical (PEC) degradation of ECs, the role of dissolved organic matter in deciding the fate of such contaminants, and the circular economy approach to wastewater treatment. He is a recipient of the Water Advanced Research Innovation (WARI) Fellowship awarded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), India, University of Nebraska Lincoln, USA, Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute (DWFI), USA, and Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF). He is a recipient of the Newton-Bhabha Fellowship jointly awarded by DST, India, and British Council, U.K. He is also a recipient of the DST-INSPIRE fellowship offered by DST, India. Dr. Karrie A. Weber is Director of the Microbiology and Associate Professor in the School of Biological Sciences with a joint Appointment in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Nebraska—Lincoln. Dr. Weber is also a Fellow of the Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute and member of the Child Health Research Institute. Dr. Weber completed her Ph.D. at the University of Alabama and continued postdoctoral training in the Department of Microbiology at Southern Illinois University and the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at the University of California at Berkeley. Following her postdoctoral training Dr. Weber held a professional research position at the University of California at Berkeley before starting her position at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Her research has focused on the identification and description of microbial metabolic processes that couple carbon, nitrogen, and metal/radionuclide biogeochemical processes in natural and anthropogenic systems that impact human and environmental health
