Dr. Swati Sharma currently leads the Advanced Carbon Materials and Devices

research group at the Institute of Microstructure Technology,

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. Her research is focused on pyrolysis optimization for polymers from different chemical classes for

obtaining carbons with pre-defined properties. These carbon materials are then

used for various applications ranging from miniaturized devices to the bulk manufacture of composites. She is involved in various international

collaborative projects aimed at large-scale waste treatment, and

has organized meetings and workshops to facilitate a common platform to scientists working on different aspects of waste disposal and

treatment. Her interests include finding novel applications of pyrolytic carbon and

efficient scale-up of this technology to make it commercially

more profitable.

Ying-Bing Jiang has his expertise in thin film materials and selectively permeable

membranes. He developed the method of using plasma-defined atomic layer deposition (ALD) to make sub-10nm ultra-thin membranes. He is a research

Professor at the University of New Mexico as well as the founder of Angstrom

Thin FilmTechnologies LLC, USA. In recent years his researches focus on tuning nanostructures by ALD and plasma-ALD, and their applications in ultra-thin

membranes for gas separation and selective ion transport. In 2011, one of his

ultra-thin desalination membranes received the prestigious “R&D 100 Award” from R&D Magazine. In 2015, his liquideous CO2 separation membranes

received another “R&D 100 Award” that was entitled “Green Technology Special

Recognition Gold Award”. Dr.Jiang has also been served as the symposium organizer/session chair and delivered invited talks for a number of major

international conferences such as MRS meeting, ACS conferences etc.

Dr Akujobi’s research is geared towards isolation of bacterial species with the

inherent capability to produce these enzymes and elucidation of the different

classes of these. Efforts are made to use phytochemicals isolated from local plants

to combat the antibiotic resistance in these organisms. In a recent time in Nigeria,

there has an increase in the menace of environmental pollution caused by oil

exploration and transportation. This has caused tremendous hardship on the host

communities of exploration oil companies and has led to constant friction

between the members of these communities and the oil companies. There is a

need to find an environmentally friendly approach to remedy this situation. Dr

Akujobi’s work has been able to discover that the oil-polluted soil can be

remediated within a very short time by the use of pollutant-adapted

microorganisms with the help of different types of organic nutrient supplements

Moritz von Cossel is a research associate (doctoral candidate) at the Department of Biobased Products and Energy Crops at Hohenheim University. Before studying, he trained to become a vegetable grower at Germany’s largest vegetable farm (Behr AG) where he gained first knowledge on basic agricultural practices and both chances and challenges of diverse cropping systems. After receiving his master degree in crop science from Kiel University, he moved to southern Germany and started his research on both temporal and spatial diversification measures in biogas cropping systems at Hohenheim University. Over the past four years, he has participated in the GOBI project (General Optimization of Biogas Processes) and revealed valuable insights to the cultivation of amaranth and perennial wild plant mixtures for biogas production. Currently, he is working on low-input agricultural practices for industrial crops cultivation on marginal lands across Europe (EU-28 and Ukraine) as part of the MAGIC project.

Wen-Rong Xu has her expertise in chitin biomass conversion and applications, as well as organic synthesis and supramolecular chemistry. Her research group has successfully convert the chitin biomass into polyols through the simple and effective liquefaction method, and the resulting polyols were further used for the polymer modification. This research has opened a new way for the high-value added use of fishing industrial wastes.
