Sartaj Ahmad Bhat is working as JSPS postdoctoral researcher in the River Basin Research Center, Gifu University, Japan. He received his PhD in environmental sciences from Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, India, in 2017. His primary research focuses on the development and evaluation of treatment technologies for solid waste and wastewater from domestic and industrial outlets, as well as organic waste recycling, with a focus on the biological and sustainable treatment by earthworms. He has published more than 50 research papers in peer¿reviewed journals, 3 books, and few book chapters to his credit. He is also an editor, editorial board member, and reviewer of many international reputed journals published by Frontiers, PLoS, De Gruyter, Springer, SAGE, MDPI, Elsevier, Wiley, and Taylor & Francis. Dr. Bhat is a recipient of several prestigious awards such as the JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowship to pursue research at River Basin Research Center, Gifu University, Japan, the Basic Scientific Research Fellowship (BSR JRF, SRF) by the University Grants Commission (UGC), India, the DST¿SERB National Postdoctoral Fellowship (CSIR¿NEERI, Nagpur, India), and Swachhta Saarthi Fellowship by the Govt. of India. He has also received the 2020 Outstanding Reviewer Award from the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), as well as Top Peer Reviewer 2019 in Environment and Ecology by Web of Science, and has more than 600 verified reviews and 60 editor records to his credit. Rouf Ahmad Bhat has pursued his doctorate at Sher¿e¿Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology Kashmir (Division of Environmental Science). Dr. Bhat has been teaching graduate and postgraduate students of environmental sciences for the past three years. He is an author of more than 50 research articles (h¿index 21; i¿index 30; total citation >1200) and 40 book chapters and has published more than 30 books with international publishers (Springer, Elsevier, CRC Press, Taylor & Francis, Apple Academic Press, John Wiley, and IGI Global). He has his specialization in limnology, toxicology, phytochemistry, and phytoremediation. Dr. Bhat has presented and participated in numerous state, national, and international conferences, seminars, workshops, and symposiums. Besides, he has worked as an associate environmental expert in the World Bank¿funded Flood Recovery Project and also as the environmental support staff in the Asian Development Bank (ADB)¿funded development projects.
