Development in Waste Water Treatment Research and Processes: Role of Environmental Microbiology in Industrial Wastewater Research

Author Biography

Dr. Maulin P. Shah is an active researcher and scientific writer in his field for over 20 years. He received a B.Sc. degree (1999) in Microbiology from Gujarat University, Godhra (Gujarat), India. He also earned his Ph.D. degree (2005) in Environmental Microbiology from Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar (Gujarat) India. His research interests include Biological Wastewater Treatment, Environmental Microbiology, Biodegradation, Bioremediation, & Phytoremediation of Environmental Pollutants from Industrial Wastewaters. He has published more than 250 research papers in national and international journals of repute on various aspects of microbial biodegradation and bioremediation of environmental pollutants. He is the editor of 200 books of international repute (Elsevier, RSC, Nova Sciences, De Gruyter, Springer, Wiley, IOP and CRC Press). Dr Nidhi Shah, visiting assistant professor in analytical chemistry at Indiana university southeast, US. Her research interests are in synthesis of metal nanoparticles and electrochemistry. She did her masters in organic chemistry from India and PhD from University of Louisville, US. Her article on electrochemical synthesis of silver nanorods on to interdigitated gold electrodes got accepted in a high impact factor journal ACS Nano. This research article showed potential application in resistive switches. Her current research interest is electrochemical synthesis of silver nanorods on electrode surfaces. She teaches analytical chemistry courses to undergraduates at Indiana University.
