Biography
Vishnu D. Rajput, PhD, is Lead Researcher (Associate Professor) at Southern Federal University. With his vast experience and experimental work, he has detailed the state of research in environmental science regarding how nanoparticles/heavy metals interact with plants, soil, microbial community, and the larger environment as well as possible remediation technology using nanoparticles/nano-biochar. Dr. Rajput has published over 325 scientific publications, including nearly 200 peer-reviewed full-length articles, 16 books, and many chapters and conference papers. He is an internationally recognized reviewer, having reviewed over 200 manuscripts. He is a journal editorial board member and is a co-principal investigator on several grants on the state of contaminated soils and plants using synchrotron methods.
Tatiana M. Minkina, PhD, is the Head of Soil Science and Land Evaluation Department of Southern Federal University. Her area of scientific interest is soil science, biogeochemistry of trace elements, environmental soil chemistry, soil monitoring and assessment, and modeling and remediation using physicochemical treatment methods. Dr. Minkina was awarded in 2015 with a Diploma of the Ministry of Education and Science for her many years of work for the development and improvement of the educational process and for her significant contribution to the training of highly qualified specialists. She is a member of many professional societies. She has published over 750 papers (389 in English).
