Dr. Deepak Pant (PhD, Environmental Biotechnology, 2007) is a Senior Scientist at the Flemish Institute for Technological Research (VITO), Belgium currently working on bioenergy, specifically, the design and optimization of bio-electrochemical systems for energy recovery from wastewater and microbial electrosynthesis for production of value-added chemicals and fuels through electrochemically driven bio-processes. Previously, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow (2008–2010) at the University of Antwerp. 

He has 1 book (published by Springer), 1 Patent, 55 peer-reviewed publications with >2600 citations (h-index 25) and 16 book chapters to his credit. He is involved in several European projects on biomass, bio-waste, wastewater treatment, and feasibility studies. He is a member of several scientific communities including ISE, BES, BRSI, IFIBiop, and AMI. Dr. Deepak Pant is serving as 
Editorial Board Member for the Journals: ‘Bioresource Technology’, ‘Electronic Journal of Biotechnology’, ‘Heliyon’, ‘Frontiers in Environmental Science’ and ‘The Scientific World Journal’. He has edited special issues for ‘Sustainability’, ‘Materials’ and ‘International Journal of Molecular Sciences’. Besides he acts as a invited reviewer for a number of International Journals (>90) from all major science publishers.

Deepak has given oral presentations at more than 30 conferences several of which were as keynote/invited. He has also been involved as a member in various international conferences both in Scientific & Organizing Committees. Dr. Deepak Pant has guided/co-guided 4 PhDs, 13 Master students, and 4 bachelor students. He is also a promoter for two Marie Curie Post-docs on Microbial and Enzymatic Electro-synthesis.

 

 

Dr. Reeta Rani Singhania is a DBT- Bioscience Energy Overseas Fellow working at the Center for Advanced Bioenergy Research, IOCL R&D Faridabad, India. Dr. Singhania obtained her M.Sc.
