Prof. Pradeep Verma, Professor, former Head, Department of Microbiology and Dean of the School of Life Sciences, Central University of Rajasthan, is a distinguished microbiologist and is internationally recognized for his pioneering contributions to environmental and industrial microbiology. His research interests span low-cost algal biorefineries, enzyme bioprocessing, bioenergy production, lignocellulose valorization, wastewater detoxification and bioelectricity generation. Prof. Verma completed his Ph.D. from Sardar Patel University in Gujarat, India, in 2002. His subsequent research accolades include collaborative research performed in various internationally acclaimed institutions like the Czech Academy of Sciences (Prague, Czech Republic), Charles University (Prague, Czech Republic), UFZ Centre for Environmental Research (Halle, Germany), and Gottingen University (Germany). He has published over 115 research papers in reputed journals, which have garnered 9,139 citations, with an h-index of 50 and an i10-index of 119. He holds multiple patents, has edited 28+ books with leading publishers, and has successfully secured major national research grants (2.5 million INR). Prof. Verma is a distinguished Fellow of various societies, including the IAWS, MSI, BRSI, and AMSc-AMI, and is a recipient of international fellowships from the JSPS and UNESCO. Ranked among the top 2% of scientists worldwide by Stanford University, Prof. Verma exemplifies excellence in microbial biotechnology and sustainable innovation.

Prof. Pawan K Dadheech has more than 35 years of post-graduate teaching and research experience and presently serving as Professor in Microbiology at Central University of Rajasthan. His research interests focus on two main categories: environmental microbiology, including cyanotoxins and systematics, both of which deal largely with cyanobacteria and micro green algae. Dr. Dadheech visited several countries, including Germany, as a visiting scientist and carried out significant research work on molecular biology and diversity of extremophilic/extreme-tolerant bacteria, mainly cyanobacteria. He has described a number of new cyanobacterial and green algal genera and species using polyphasic approach. He has been included as an international scientific collaborator in the UNESCO-TWAS-approved research project on cyanobacteria under International Basic Science Program. Senior Scientist Fellowship of Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries has been awarded to him for conducting research on metagenomics and molecular phylogeny of cyanobacteria. He is acting as a reviewer and member of editorial board in internationally repute scientific journals. Dr Dadheech is a member of several scientific societies and a Fellow of Indian Botanical Society (FBS).

普拉迪普·維爾瑪教授（Prof. Pradeep Verma）是印度拉賈斯坦中央大學（Central University of Rajasthan）微生物學系的教授、前系主任及生命科學學院院長。他是一位傑出的微生物學家，因其在環境和工業微生物學方面的開創性貢獻而享有國際聲譽。他的研究興趣涵蓋低成本藻類生物精煉廠、酶生物處理、生物能源生產、木質纖維素增值、廢水解毒及生物電力生成。維爾瑪教授於2002年在印度古吉拉特邦的薩達爾·帕特爾大學（Sardar Patel University）獲得博士學位。隨後，他在捷克科學院（Czech Academy of Sciences，捷克布拉格）、查理大學（Charles University，捷克布拉格）、UFZ環境研究中心（UFZ Centre for Environmental Research，德國哈雷）及哥廷根大學（Gottingen University，德國）等多個國際知名機構進行了合作研究。他在知名期刊上發表了超過115篇研究論文，這些論文共獲得9,139次引用，h指數為50，i10指數為119。他擁有多項專利，編輯了28本以上的書籍，並成功獲得了重大國家研究資助（250萬印度盧比）。維爾瑪教授是多個學會的傑出會員，包括IAWS、MSI、BRSI和AMSc-AMI，並獲得了來自JSPS和UNESCO的國際獎學金。根據史丹佛大學的排名，維爾瑪教授位列全球科學家前2%，在微生物生物技術和可持續創新方面展現了卓越的成就。

帕萬·K·達德希奇教授（Prof. Pawan K Dadheech）擁有超過35年的研究生教學和研究經驗，目前擔任拉賈斯坦中央大學的微生物學教授。他的研究興趣主要集中在兩個類別：環境微生物學，包括藍藻毒素和系統學，這兩者主要涉及藍藻和微型綠藻。達德希奇博士曾作為訪問科學家訪問多個國家，包括德國，並在極端嗜好菌的分子生物學和多樣性方面進行了重要的研究工作，主要針對藍藻。他使用多相方法描述了多個新的藍藻和綠藻屬及物種。他被納入UNESCO-TWAS批准的藍藻國際基礎科學計劃研究項目，擔任國際科學合作者。因在藍藻的宏基因組學和分子系統發生學方面的研究，他獲得了萊布尼茨淡水生態與內陸漁業研究所的高級科學家獎學金。他在國際知名的科學期刊中擔任審稿人和編輯委員會成員。達德希奇博士是多個科學學會的成員，也是印度植物學會（FBS）的會員。
