Dr Mohammad Aslam, is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemistry, National Institute of Technology, Srinagar. Dr Aslam received his first Master’s degree in “Industrial Chemistry” from Aligarh Muslim University, followed by another Master’s degree in “Fuels and combustion” from Birla Institute of Technology. He received his PhD in Chemistry from National Institute of Technology, Jalandha. Dr Aslam has worked as Post-Doctoral Fellow/Research Associate/Senior Research Fellow in Chemical Conversion Division, Sardar Swaran Singh National Institute of Bio- Energy. His current research is focused on green transportation fuels derived from second and third generation biomass feedstocks under biorefinery concept via thermochemical conversion and their application for decarbonizing transportation sector.Dr Sanjeev Mishra, is working as Scientist-D/Additional Director at Sardar Swaran Singh National Institute of Bio-Energy. Prior to this, Dr Sanjeev worked as a Research Fellow at the Asian School of the Environment, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His research focuses on the production of 3rd generation (3-G) biofuels and high-value compounds from municipal, agricultural, and industrial waste via an algal biorefinery approach. Dr Sanjeev undertook his Bachelor’s and Master of Technology in Industrial Biotechnology and has over two years of pre-PhD research experience working at national labs. During this, his research focused on lab-scale to large-scale microalgal cultivation and bioenergy production. Dr Sanjeev did his PhD in Energy Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati.Dr Jorge Aburto holds a BSc in Food Chemistry from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM); the Diplome d’Études Approfondies (DEA) and PhD from National Polytechnique Institute of Toulouse (INPT), France; and was visiting Researcher in the Agro Biotechnology Institute (IFA-Tulln) from the Agricultural University of Vienna (BOKU). Dr Jorge Aburto has been a Researcher at the Mexican Petroleum Institute (IMP) since 2000 where he is Project Leader, Head of Biomass Conversion Division and in charge of the Division of Energy Efficiency and Sustainability. Dr Aburto’s main research areas are bio- based chemicals and materials for applications in the petroleum industry, biomass deconstruction and conversion, production of lignocellulosic ethanol, road and aviation fuels, enzyme kinetics and applications to the oil industry, petroleum biorefining, precipitation inhibitors of asphaltenes, and petroleum pipelining through O/W emulsions.
