Author Biography

Sesan Abiodun Aransiola is a Lecturer at the Department of Microbiology, University of Abuja, Nigeria. He has demonstrated his research expert in the production of vermicasts from vermicoposting of organic wastes to assist plants in the remediation of polluted soil with heavy metals. His expertise spans environmental health, phytoremediation, vermicomposting, marine resources and bioremediation of pollutants in the soil. Yakubu Adekunle Alli is a distinguished postdoctoral researcher at Nelson Mandela University, specializing in the design of multifunctional nanomaterials for CO₂ conversion, N₂ reduction, renewable energy, and antimicrobial drug development. His work integrates photocatalysis, electrocatalysis, environmental remediation, and advanced additive manufacturing to develop sustainable solutions for energy, climate, and health challenges. Kondakindi Venkateswar Reddy has been working as a faculty in Microbiology and Biotechnology for past15 years, teaching undergraduate and post graduate students. His forte is Industrial microbiology, Biotechnology and Environmental management. Currently, he is working as an Asst. Professor at Center for Biotechnology, University College of Engineering Science and Technology Hyderabad, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad. Telangana, India. Naga Raju Maddela is working as a Full Professor at the Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Técnica de Manabí, Portoviejo, Ecuador. He has been actively publishing scientific articles, books (authored and edited) and chapters, since 2007.
