Mayur B KuradeDr. Mayur Kurade earned his Ph.D. degree in 2012 from the Shivaji University, Kolhapur, India for his in-depth investigation on the biodegradation of xenobiotic synthetic dyes and bioremediation of textile industry wastewater using microbial catalyst. He has conducted his postdoctoral research during 2013-2014 in ARCPE lab at Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong focusing on applied microbiology for sludge processing and wastewater treatment to upgrade the existing bioleaching methods of sewage sludge. Following this research profile, he joined Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea in 2015 as Assistant Professor. He is frequently serving as Session Chair and co-organizer of the Geochemistry division in American Chemical Society National Meeting & Exposition, USA. Dr. Kurade has done world-class research in "Bioremediation and bioenergy". He is among the top 25 researchers in the world working in the area of dye decolorization according to Scopus. He has published >75 research articles in well-known peer-reviewed international journals of high repute along with 2 book chapters and 2 patents focusing on bioremediation and bioenergy with an average impact factor of 6.65, Citations of 2661 H Index of 31". Some of his research articles are appeared as "Highly cited articles" in Web-of-Sciences. He is serving as an editorial board member for international journals including Frontiers in Microbiology, Environmental Technology, Energies, and Heliyon. Moreover, he is voluntarily contributing as a potential reviewer for top-class journals in Environmental Engineering and Biotechnology such as Water Research, Chemical Engineering Journal, Bioresource Technology, Journal of Hazardous Materials, and Environment International. Currently, at Hanyang University, he is exploring the bioremediation of emerging- organic pollutants from wastewater using microalgae and plants. He is also developing cost-effective technologies to improve biofuels/biogas yield using various organic sources to find a remedy for organic waste pollution. His specific research interests include biodegradation, bioremediation, environmental microbiology, bioenergy, and biofuels. His research outcomes and the developed technologies are helpful for the pollution control planning, management of water contamination, and environmental protection. Read More Read Less
