Dr Shafaqat Ali is an Associate Professor at GC University in Pakistan. He received his PhD in Crop Science from Zhejiang University, China, in 2010. He was previously the Agricultural Officer for the Government of Pakistan and has been a visiting scientist to the Institute of Soil Science in the Chinese Academy of Sciences since May 2017. He has almost 250 publications and over 6,000 citations. Dr Muhammad Rizwan is an Assistant Professor GC University in Pakistan. He received his PhD in Environmental Sciences from Aix-Marseille University, France, in 2012. He has almost 250 publications with over 4,500 citations. His research interests include environmental chemistry, production and application of biochar, remediation of contaminated soils, plant stress physiology, and air pollution and its effects on plants. Awais Ahmad s/o Muhammad Aslam Haral is working as Researcher at Departamento de Quimica Organica, Universidad de Cordoba, Edificio Marie Curie (C-3), Ctra Nnal IV-A, Km 396, E14014 Cordoba, Spain Under supervision of Prof Rafael Luque. He done his graduation from Government college University Faisalabad under supervision of Khalid Mahmood Zia. After that he done his master's degree from University of Lahore under supervision of Dr Muhammad Pervaiz, and Co-Supervisor was Dr Ikram Ahmad. During his research Career till yet he Published 60 SCI papers with accumulative impact factor of > 230. His research on nanomaterials, composite materials, coated materials, heterogenous catalysis, MOF, self-sacrifice MOF, single atom catalysis, photocatalysis, and electrochemical sensor formulations. He used these materials for wastewater treatment, removal of heavy metals, degradation of organic pollutants, CO2 conversion, supercapacitors, dye sensing solar cells, gel electrolyte, sensing of hazardous metals in wastewater, Conversion of hazardous gases into useful product, nitrogen fixation, Catalysis for organic transformation, Li-S batteries, GCE nafion fiber, and water splitting. He has excellent understanding in designing of composite material, HRTEM, SEM, FT-IR, GC with photo reactor, UV-Vis., EDS, XRD, CV, DSC, XPS, TGA. Have handful expertise in Origin-8, Sigmaplot and Chemdraw. Dr Afzal Hussain is an early-career Researcher at GC University in Pakistan and is due to receive his PhD in Environmental Sciences later this year. He has 25 publications. Prof. Guoping Zhang is a Professor at Zhejiang University, China. His major research interests include: (1) identification and development of barley germplasm with abiotic stress tolerance (salinity, acid soils and drought) and high nutrient use efficiency, and (2) genotypic difference and molecular mechanisms of heavy metal accumulation and tolerance in plants. In the past two decades, He finished more than 30 research projects, including 13 granted by China Natural Science Foundations, and published more than 270 papers in peer-reviewed journals, with more than 6,000 citations. He once acted as a chairman of organizing committee for International Barley Genetics Symposium (2012-2016) and is now on the editorial board of several journals, including Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Plant Growth Regulation, and Journal of Integrative Agriculture. Dr Zhaohui Tong is Associate Professor at the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, University of Florida, USA. She received her PhD?in Chemical Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2007. Tong’s work includes the full range of products that can be produced from renewable biomass. In addition to her work with biomass processes, Tong maintains an active research program in the area of novel polymer, nanoparticle, and biochemical development.
