Dr. Daniel D. Snow is a Research Professor in Natural
Resources at the University of Nebraska, and the
Director of the Water Sciences Laboratory, a part of the
Nebraska Water Centre and Daugherty Water for Food
Institute. His research is focused on the use of
analytical chemistry and mass spectrometry to understand how water becomes contaminated and what we
can do to prevent it. A good part of his work in the
Water Sciences Laboratory involves creating analytical
methods for new or “emerging” environmental contaminants like steroids, pharmaceuticals, algal toxins,
explosives, and pesticides. In 2015, his team was
awarded with Excellence in Environmental Engineering
and Science Grand Prize by American Academy of
Environmental Engineers and Scientists.
Dr. Ryo Honda is a research Associate Professor in
the faculty of Geosciences and Civil Engineering of
Kanazawa University, Japan. His field of interest
includes but are not limited to Environmental
Process Engineering, Environmental Microbiology,
Environmental and Energy Technology and Urban
Engineering etc. He has been awarded with accolades
such as WET Excellent Paper Award from Japan
Society of Water Environment. His research area
focuses on environmental process engineering, environmental microbiology, and sustainability science. In
addition to many international publications to his credit,
he is on the reviewer board for publications of national
and international repute.
Dr. Santanu Mukherjee obtained his Ph.D. from the
University of Bonn and worked as a guest scientist in
FZJ, Juelich. He was a visiting researcher in Savannah
River Ecological Laboratory, USA. He is the recipient
of multiple accolades such as EGU-Young Scientist
Travel Award, ICAR international fellowship, GRIFA
(Italian Pesticide Agency) grant, EU-COST action
biochar grant, etc. His research interest includes the
fate of emerging contaminants, the role of dissolved
and particulate organic matter in deciding contaminants
fate in the environment.
