Biography

Babafemi Raphael Babaniyi is a distinguished researcher and academic in Environmental Chemistry. He earned a B.Sc. in Industrial Chemistry from Caritas University, Enugu (2008), and an M.Tech. in Environmental Chemistry from the Federal University of Technology, Akure (2021), where he is currently pursuing a Ph.D. His work spans Environmental and Green Chemistry, Phytoremediation, Chemical Biology, Bioremediation, Environmental Impact Assessment, and Biodegradable Plastics.

Sesan Abiodun Aransiola holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Microbiology from the Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria, where he also earned his B.Tech and M.Tech degrees in 2009 and 2014, respectively. He is currently a Lecturer in the Department of Microbiology at the University of Abuja, Nigeria. Dr. Aransiola’s research focuses on innovative approaches to soil and water remediation, particularly through vermicomposting (vermitechnology), phytoremediation, and microbial biotechnology.

Naga Raju Maddela is a Full Professor of Microbiology at the Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud, Universidad Técnica de Manabí, Portoviejo, Ecuador. He earned his M.Sc. (1996–1998) and Ph.D. (2012) in Microbiology from Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapuramu, India, with doctoral research focused on the impact of industrial effluents and insecticides on soil microorganisms.
