Prof. Kamal Kishore Pant is a Petrotech Chair Professor and Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT Delhi, and also Joint faculty CRDT, IIT Delhi, Adjunct Faculty at the University of Saskatchewan as well as Honorary Faculty at the University of Queensland, Australia. Prof. Pant's research contribution involves a wide range of innovative studies covering both theoretical and experimental aspects of heterogeneous catalysis for hydrocarbon conversion, CO2 capture and conversion, coal to chemical, bioenergy, waste to wealth, and value-added chemicals. Prof. Pant has 30 years of research and teaching experience during which he published 160+ Journal articles, book chapters, and patents, having more than 8000 citations and is granted several national and international patents. Most of Prof. Pant's research work is aligned with the internationally-focused research areas that include the development of coal to methanol process, CO2 capture, and conversion, disposal of e-waste and precious metals recovery, waste plastic to liquid fuel technology, as well as biofuels production from residual agro biomass to thwart stubble burning. Prof. Pant is amongst the leading researchers in India working on solving the problems of accumulating electronic waste. Besides, Prof. Pant has extensively worked to develop novel catalysts for the direct conversion of Natural gas to pure hydrogen and Carbon nanotubes. Prof. Pant has also significantly contributed to developing novel catalysts for the dry reforming of methane and steam/oxidative steam reforming of Bioethanol and Bio-oil compounds, converting plastic waste and biomass to value-added chemicals which are highly appreciable in utilizing renewable sources in the country. Dr. Sanjay Kumar Gupta is the Technical Superintendent of Environmental Engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. Dr. Gupta started his research carrier in 1999 at CSIR-Indian Institute of Toxicology
