Author Biography

Dr. Uday Chatterjee is an Assistant Professor at Bhatter College in Dantan, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India, and an Applied Geographer with a Post-Graduate in Applied Geography from Utkal University and a Doctorate in Applied Geography from Ravenshaw University in Cuttack, Odisha. He has contributed to a number of research papers that have been published in reputable national and international publications, as well as edited book volumes. He has also organized (as the convener) a Faculty Development Program on "Modern ways of teaching and advanced research methods," which was funded by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). Urban Planning, Social and Human Geography, Applied Geomorphology, Hazards & Disasters, Environmental Issues, Land Use and Rural Development are some of his research interests. The West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB) of the Government of West Bengal, India, financed his research. He has worked as a reviewer for a number of international publications. Dr. Uday Chatterjee is currently the lead editor of the Springer Special Issue (S.I) on Urbanism, Smart Cities, and Modelling. Biswajeet Pradhan is a distinguished professor at UTS School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He is an international expert in data-driven modelling and a pioneer in combining spatial modelling with statistical and machine learning models for natural hazard predictions including landslides. He has a track record of outstanding research outputs, with over 600 journal articles. He is a highly interdisciplinary researcher with publications across 12 areas, listed as having ‘Excellent’ international collaboration status. He has been a Highly Cited Researcher for five consecutive years (2016-2020) and ranks fifth in the field of Geological & Geoenvironmental Engineering. Suresh Kumar Kailasa, FRSC, is an Associate Professor of the Department of Chemistry at Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology (SVNIT) Surat, Gujrat, India. He obtained Master of Science in Chemistry of Natural Products from Sri Krishnadeveraya University, Andhra Pradesh, India and PhD in Chemistry from Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India. After completing two Postdoctoral Fellowships at Chonbuk University, South Korea and at National Sun Yat-Sen University, Taiwan, he joined as an Assistant Professor at SVNIT, Surat in 2009. He received Young Scientist Award from Taiwan Mass Spectrometry Society in 2013. He was Visiting Research Professor (June 2022 – July 2022 & May 2019 – July 2019) and Research Professor (January 2018 – September 2018) at Department of Chemistry, Chung-Ang University, Seoul, South Korea. He worked as a Visiting Scientist at Department of Chemistry, National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan in 2010. He was selected as a Brain Pool Scientist at the Department of Chemistry, Chung-Ang University, South Korea under Korean Brain Pool Invitation Program of KOFST in 2017 and 2023. He was selected as a Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry, The Royal Society of Chemistry, UK and Fellow of the Society of Pesticide Science India in 2019. He was also selected as a life member of the National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI), India in 2021. He acted as Guest Editor in the special issues in Applied Sciences (MDPI), Materials Today Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry Communications (Elsevier) and Environmental Science and Pollution Research (Springer). He is acting as an Advisory Board Member, Sensors and Diagnostics (RSC Publications) since 2023. He is the author of 240 peer-reviewed papers and is the co-inventor of a Taiwan Patent. He has a h-index of 59 and has accumulated over 11163 citations. Recently, he has been featured in the top 2% scientists that has been compiled by Stanford University in the USA. His research interest in the field of analytical chemistry, MALDI-MS, ESI-MS, microextraction, nanosensors, drug delivery, surface modifications of nanostructure materials, functional nanomaterials for the development of new analytical strategies. Dr. Sourav Saha PhD is a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Saha is an early career scientist who recently completed his Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati, USA. He also taught several Geology courses as an adjunct faculty member at Northern Kentucky University, USA. His research interests are focused on the use of geomorphic, geochronologic, remote sensing, and sedimentary tools to quantify surface processes, landscape evolution, paleoseismic, and paleoclimatic changes. His goal is to understand the dynamic interaction between climate, tectonics, and landscapes, especially in environmentally sensitive regions. He uses and develops a variety of geochronometers, especially luminescence and cosmogenic surface exposure dating techniques. He is also a member of the Geological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union, the American Quaternary Association, and several other international organizations. Dr. Mohammad Zakwan PhD is presently working as an Assistant Professor in Maulana Azad National University, Hyderabad, India. He has published numerous papers and has a demonstrated history of working in Water Resource Engineering. He has been serving as an editorial board member and reviewer for various journals. His research interests include modelling of infiltration, modelling river water quality, sediment rating curves, stage discharge curves, computation of effective discharge and dominant discharge, climate change, trend analysis in water resources, river engineering, hydraulics, and hydrology of rivers. Dr. Mohammad Zakwan was a recipient of Gold medals during his M.Tech and B.Tech. He was awarded MHRD GATE scholarship and CSIR NET JRF scholarship for his M.Tech and PhD, respectively.
