Autorenporträt
Professor Dinesh Kumar is a distinguished faculty member at the School of Chemical Sciences, Central University of Gujarat, Gandhinagar. He is an alumnus of the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, where he earned his master's and doctoral degrees in Chemistry. Professor Kumar's scholarly achievements have garnered numerous national and international accolades and fellowships, and he has consistently been ranked among the top 2% of scientists globally from 2021 to 2023. His research endeavors are primarily directed toward synthesizing capped magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), core-shell nanoparticles (NPs), and biopolymers. These include the development of metal oxide-based nanoadsorbents and nanosensors for detecting and removing inorganic toxicants, such as heavy metal ions, from water sources. In the realm of water purification, he has innovated hybrid nanomaterials utilizing various biopolymers-pectin, chitin, cellulose, chitosan-and photocatalytic materials. Additionally, his research extends to creating mixed metal oxide-based hierarchical nanostructures with potential energy applications. Professor Kumar's prolific contributions to science are evidenced by his extensive publication record, which includes over 139 articles in prestigious international journals, four books, more than a hundred book chapters, and approximately 100 presentations at various national and international forums. His work is widely recognized, reflected in his h-index of 37, i10 index of 100, and nearly 4900 citations. Dr. Rekha Sharma received her B.Sc. from the University of Rajasthan, Jaipur, in 2007. In 2012, she completed her M.Sc. in Chemistry from Banasthali Vidyapith. She was awarded a Ph.D. in 2019 by the same university under the supervision of Prof. Dinesh Kumar. Presently, she is working as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry, Banasthali Vidyapith, and has entered a specialized research career focused on developing water purification technology. With four years of teaching experience, she has published thirteen articles in journals of international repute, 1 authored book with CRC Press, and over 50 book chapters in nanotechnology. She has presented her work at more than 15 national and international conferences. Dr. Sharma has reviewed many renowned Journals, Science Direct, Trends in Carbohydrate Research, and Springer Nature. She has been recognized as a Young Women Scientist by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of Rajasthan. Her research interest includes developing water purification technology by developing biomaterial-reduced NPs and polymers and biopolymers incorporated metal oxide-based nanoadsorbents and nanosensors to remove and sense health-hazardous inorganic toxicants like heavy metal ions from aqueous media for water and wastewater treatment. Dr. Sapna Nehra has been enriching Nirwan University, Jaipur's academic community as an Assistant Professor and Research Coordinator since March 2022. A distinguished alumna of Banasthali Vidyapith, Rajasthan, India, she earned her M.Sc. degree in 2014, followed by a Ph.D. in 2020. Her doctoral research, guided by Dr. Dinesh Kumar at the School of Chemical Sciences, Central University of Gujarat, Gandhinagar, focused on innovative chemical applications. Before her tenure at Nirwan University, Dr. Nehra imparted knowledge at Dr. K. N. Modi University, Newai, Tonk, Rajasthan, from 2020 to 2022. She is a prolific author with eleven research papers and thirty-two book chapters published by prestigious international publishers. In addition, Dr. Nehra contributes her expertise as a reviewer to esteemed journals under Science Direct, ACS, and Springer Nature. She is a regular participant in national and international conferences, showcasing her research, which primarily revolves around developing advanced materials, including polymers, bionanomaterials, and metal oxides, to enhance water purification technologies.
