Patrick Drogui is professor and researcher at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique’s Centre Eau Terre Environnement. He is an internationally recognized expert in electrochemical and membrane technologies, and oxidative processes for different applications in water treatment from industrial wastewater to potable water. The originality of his research work lies in the development of advanced electrolytic processes for water and wastewater treatment requiring no or minimum addition of chemical products. Co-inventor on 8 patents, Dr. Drogui is currently working on new electrolytic and/or membrane, photo-catalytic, and electro-photo-catalytic processes for water treatment, and the removal of phosphate and emerging contaminants. Prof. Drogui is the author of more than 260 papers published in scientific refereed journals. He is an author of 16 book chapters and 54 industrial and scientific reports. Prof. Patrick Drogui received 4 fellowships and 2 awards for the best research project from Pollutec and for the best paper published in Water Environment Federation, delivered 17 invited conferences and 119 communications and conferences. Prof. Patrick Drogui is a director of CREATE-Program in Environmental Decontamination Technologies and Integrated Water and Wastewater Management (TEDGIEER). Collaborative Research and Training Experience Program (CREATE) from National Science Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada. Bhoomika Yadav is researcher at Institut national de la recherche scientifique’s Centre Eau Terre Environnement. She has strong research skills and worked in multidisciplinary areas of biotechnology, microbiology and biochemical engineering. Her research interest includes waste to value transformation, bioflocculants, wastewater treatment, bioplastics, circular bioeconomy. Currently, she is working on production of bioplastics and recovery of various value-added products co-produced with bioplastics. She has authored 16 publications including research and review papers, book chapters and scientific communications published in the leading journals of water science, bioprocess technology and microbiology. She has given numerous talks in conferences and scientific platforms at national and international level.
