Biography

S. A. Shameem, PhD, is currently affiliated with the Division of Environmental Sciences at SKUAST-K, India, bringing over two decades of teaching, research, and extension program experience at both the college and university level. He has served as a resource person delivering lectures on environmental issues and working as an environmental specialist on national-level projects sponsored by the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MOEFCC) in the cold desert of Leh Ladakh and Kashmir Valley. With a track record of supervising over 25 postgraduate and MPhil students in Environmental Science, he has also led RCM-approved research projects at SKUAST-K focusing on medicinal plants, conservation, future challenges, and ecosystem services. He has an extensive publication list in reputable national and international journals as well as a strong presence at national and international conferences, training sessions, symposiums, and seminars. He has actively taken part in various faculty development programs and workshops while also being a member of several national-level academic and research organizations and serving as a reviewer for national and international journals. Recognized for his contributions, Dr. Shameem has received several accolades. He also has many books to his credit.

Saleem Ahmad Yatoo, PhD, is presently working as Assistant Professor (C) at Government Degree College, Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India. He has teaching experience at the secondary school, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels. In addition to this, under his supervision, 25 students have completed their project work and dissertations, and many others are still working under his supervision. His areas of expertise are in remote sensing and GIS (geographic information system), LST (land surface temperature) mapping, land use/land cover change, climate change, ecology, biodiversity, wetland ecology, and limnology. In addition to teaching, he has published research papers with international journals from Springer, Taylor and Francis, etc. He has also published two books: Metal Oxide-Based Carbon Nanocomposites for Environmental Remediation and Safety and GIS & Remote Sensing: Recent Trends Tools and Applications. He has participated in a number of national and international conferences, seminars, workshops, and training programs to develop his research and teaching insight.

Khalid Rehman Hakeem, PhD, is Professor at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. After completing his doctorate (botany, specialization in plant eco-physiology and molecular biology) from Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India, he worked as a lecturer at the University of Kashmir, Srinagar, India, and at Universiti Putra Malaysia, Selangor, Malaysia, where he was a Postdoctorate Fellow and Fellow Researcher (Associate Professor) for several years. Dr. Hakeem has more than 10 years of teaching and research experience in plant eco-physiology, biotechnology and molecular biology, medicinal plants, plant-microbe-soil interactions, as well as in environmental studies. He is the recipient of several fellowships at both national and international levels. He has served as a visiting scientist at Jinan University, Guangzhou, China. Currently, he is involved with several international research projects with various government organizations. To date, Dr. Hakeem has authored and edited more than 60 books with international publishers.
