About the Editors
Manish Srivastava is currently working as SERB-Research Scientist in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology, IIT (BHU), Varanasi, India. He has
worked as DST INSPIRE faculty in the Department of Physics and Astrophysics,
University of Delhi, India. He has published over 50 research articles in peerreviewed journals, edited 10 books for publishers of international renown, authored
several book chapters, and filed one patent. He received his PhD in physics from
Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad, India. Presently, he is
working on the synthesis of graphene-based metal oxide hybrids and their applications as catalysts. His areas of interest are synthesis of nanostructured materials and
their applications as catalyst for the development of electrode materials in energy
storage, biosensors, and biofuels production.
Neha Srivastava has received PhD in biotechnology from Department of Molecular and Cellular Engineering, SHUATS, India in the area of bioenergy. She is
working as Research Scientist, Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology, IIT (BHU) Varanasi, India. She has published more than 30 research articles in
peer-reviewed journals of SCI impact factor and have filed 3 patents, 1 technology
transfer, and 12 published book of international renowned publisher. She is working
on bioprocess technology and biofuels production (microbial screening and
enzymes, production and enhancement, biohydrogen production from waste biomass, bioethanol production).
Rajeev Singh Head, Department of Environmental Studies, Satyawati College,
University of Delhi. He is working in the area of environmental and reproductive
health. He is the founder secretary of Bioelectromagnetic Society of India. He is
recipient of Young Scientist Award from the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS), Gold Medal for best oral presentation, etc. He is member of
