Dr. Gollakota Anjani Ravi Kiran is Assistant Professor in Department of Safety, Health and Environmental Engineering, National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, Taiwan. He has received his PhD (Chemical Engineering) from Indian Institute of Technology (IIG), Guwahati, and an MTech (Chemical and Engineering) from Andhra University college of Engineering, India. After his PhD, he Joined University of Surrey, United Kingdom (May 2016 – July 2017), Received Post Doc Fellowship from Ministry of Science and Technology Taiwan and joined Post Doc (August 2017 – Feb 2018), soon promoted as assistant professor (Feb 2018 – To Date). Dr. Gollakota Primary research is on 4th generation biofuels via hydrodeoxygenation, hydrothermal liquefaction. His research is primarily focused towards the upgrading the biofuels generated from physico-chemical-thermo chemical methods. The prime objective of this research is to enhance the efficacy of the biofuels which are highly underrated due to their complex compositions. At present Dr. Gollakota is working on another novel aspect of self-treatment procedures through green materials and green solvents. The present research will be a great boon to many of the coal industries struggling with their dumping systems. His current research projects and works are focused in broad multidisciplinary areas of transmuted coal fly ash applications in geopolymers, biofuel upgrading catalysis, leaching radioactive isotopes. Also Dr. Gollakota is working on green material synthesis on the basis of waste to energy generation. Gollakota Published 18 articles in top-ranked journals (h-index 12; i10-index 12; citations >500), he has developed a network of collaborators across four continents. Prior experience as a software engineer for three years helped Gollakota to have a proficiency in traditional chemical and process engineering software such as Ansys, COMSOL etc. Dr. Sneha Gautam is Assistant Professor in Department of Civil Engineering at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore, India. He has received his PhD (Engineering) from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, and an MTech (Environmental Science and Engineering) from Indian Institute of Technology, Indian School of Mines (IIT - ISM) Dhanbad. After his PhD, he Joined INCLEN and University of California, Berkeley, USA (May 2015 – July 2016), Received Post Doc Fellowship from Ministry of Science and Technology Taiwan and joined Post Doc (August 2016 – May 2017), after he joined Marwadi University, Rajkot Gujarat as an assistant professor & Head (Sept 2017 – April 2019). His fundamental and application oriented cross disciplinary research is focused at the interfaces of clean air engineering/science, human health and smart/sustainable living in cities/megacities. His research builds an understanding of the formation and emission of particles, both from vehicle exhausts and non-vehicular sources. He, investigates their contribution to pollution, especially in megacity contexts. He is developing approaches to low-cost sensing and contributing to the development of exposure control technology and guidelines for policymakers to curtail pollution exposure in cities, with associated health benefits. His current research projects and works are focused in broad multidisciplinary areas of air pollution monitoring/modelling, low-cost sensing, nature-based solutions, climate change mitigation and developing innovative technological and passive (e.g. green infrastructure) solutions for air pollution exposure control for both developing and developed world. He received couple of prestigious award (i.e., IEI Young Scientist Award, Outstanding Reviewer Award – Elsevier, International Travel Grant – Govt of India etc). With over 26 articles in top-ranked journals (h-index 12; i10-index 12; citations >370), he has developed a network of collaborators across four continents, serving on editorial boards of several international journals. His research has featured in well-read media outlets such as the Aljajeera, Times of India, and Trinity. Prof. Chi-Min Shu is a Distinguished Chair Professor in Department of Safety, Health and Environmental Engineering at National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, Taiwan. Prof. Shu is a chemical engineering graduate and migrated towards the process safety upon the thrust towards the industrial safety. Prof. Shu, initiated a prodigious impulse in the field of process safety research by establishing the Process Safety and Disaster Prevention Laboratory (PS&DPL), Taiwan. The focus of PS&DPL is primarily on loss prevention, thermokinetic hazard analysis, runaway reaction analysis, combustible gas or dust explosion analysis, risk assessment, and process-safety-related problems. In the past decade, I have received the North American Thermal Analysis Society (NATAS) Fellow Award in 2011 and in 2016 was elected as an American Institute of Chemical Engineers Fellow. In 201
