Biography
Suresh C. Ameta, PhD, has served as Founder Professor and Head of the Department of Chemistry, North Gujarat University Patan and M. L. Sukhadia University, Udaipur, as well as Head of the Department of Polymer Science. He served as Dean of Postgraduate Studies and Dean of the Faculty of Science at Paher University, Udaipur, where he is currently Professor of Eminence. Dr. Ameta held was President of the Indian Chemical Society and is now a lifelong advisor. The recipient of many awards during his career, he has been honored by The Indian Chemical Society with a national award in his name given to a senior scientist every year. A prolific author and editor, Prof. Ameta has published more than 400 research papers and over 40 books with international publishers including. He has also completed several major research projects and has delivered lectures and chaired sessions at various international and national conferences.
Rakshit Ameta, PhD, is Director of the Faculty of Science at J. R. N. Rajasthan Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University) University, Udaipur, India. He formerly served at M. L. Sukhadia University, Udaipur; University of Kota, Kota; and Paher University, Udaipur. He has supervised PhD students in green chemistry, organized several international and national conferences, and has published several books, book chapters and over 150 research publications in journals of national and international repute. He also has a patent to his credit.
"The importance of becoming a ‘green society’ is now well established within and outside the scientific community. . . . This book is suited to advanced chemistry majors and practitioners; it has numerous detailed illustrations of organic transformations and emphasizes specific green processes and techniques, and ways specific named reactions can be more ecofriendly. The topics range from well-established industrial methods (e.g., sonochemistry and microwave-assisted chemistry) but not yet commonly employed. Overall, this interesting read highlights the rapid progress of green chemistry."
