Biofuels and Sustainability: Life Cycle Assessments, System Biology, Policies, and Emerging Technologies

About

Prof. Zhu has more than 15 years of teaching and research experience after obtaining PhD degree. Dr. Daochen Zhu is currently working as a Professor at Biofuel Institute School of the Environment and Safety Engineering Jiangsu University Zhenjiang China. He is a reviewer and editorial board member of various peer-reviewed journals of international repute. His research group mainly focuses on microorganism resource and diversity Enzyme mediated valorization of lignin into value added commodity products and biodegradation of organic pollutants. He is also interested in the mitigation of microplastic through bioremediation technology. Dr. Zhu has over 50 peer-reviewed publications 12 patents and 4 book chapters and three edited books to his credit with international repute. Dr. Dar have more than 3 years of teaching and research experience after obtaining PhD degree. Dr. Mudasir Ahmad Dar is working as an Associate Professor at Biofuel Institute School of the Environment and Safety Engineering Jiangsu University Zhenjiang China. He is currently working to design a novel biorefinery model adapted from the termite-bacteria symbiosis via biomimetic strategies. He completed his postdoctoral studies from the Jiangsu University China. He has completed his masters in Zoology from University of Pune Maharashtra with First Division. After completing his masters he pursued Ph.D. from the Savitribai Phule Pune University Maharashtra under the supervision of Prof. R. S. Pandit on the topic entitled Bioprospection of symbiotic gut-bacteria from the snails for agro-waste disposal management. He is highly interested to work on Biofuels; Environmental biotechnology; Bioremediation Systems biology; Gut-microbiome; Bioprospection; and modeling insects for biotechnological applications. Dr. Shahnawaz have more than 6 years of teaching and research experience after obtaining his doctoral degree. Recently Dr. Mohd. Shahnawaz got selected as an Associate Professor at Biofuel Institute School of the Environment and Safety Engineering Jiangsu University Zhenjiang China. In 2020 he got selected as a postdoc fellow at Yeungnam University South Korea; however due to the COVID-19 scenario he was not able to join. He has several years of teaching and postdoctoral research experience. Dr. Shahnawaz worked on bioremediation of polythene at the Botany Department SP Pune University during his doctoral research with Prof. A. B. Ade. He is recipient of various fellowships awarded by the SPPU UGC-BSR UGC-MANF and DST-SERB. His research interest is in Biofuels Microbiology Bioremediation and Plant Biotechnology. Besides working on the bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into biofuels he is also focused on the mitigation of microplastic using bioremediation technology.
