Porous Coordination Polymers

Dr. Nidhi Goel received her doctorate in Chemistry, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. After postdoctoral research from Indian Institute of Science Bangalore, Karnataka, India, she started her independent academic career as Assistant Professor, Department of Chemistry, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India. Her research focuses on developing strategies, based on supramolecular building approaches, for rational construction of functional coordination polymers, Metal-Organic Frameworks and their prospective uses include magnetic, luminescence, and sensing applications. She is also working on drug design, medicinal chemistry natural products chemistry, and chemical biology. Dr. Goel has published more than fifty peer-reviewed research papers and book chapters in reputed international journals and books. She has 15 years research experience along with six years teaching experience at UG and PG level. She has been the Principal Investigator on three research projects from the Government of India. She is also a regular reviewer of a variety of international journals, and has also received several prestigious fellowships and research awards. Moreover, Dr. Goel is editing several books in CRC press Taylor & Francis group, Springer, and Elsevier. She is also acting as Guest Associate Editor in reputed journals. Prof. Ki-Hyun Kim, Ph.D., is a Professor based at the Air Quality and Materials Application Lab, in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Hanyang University, Korea. His research areas cover various aspects of research incorporating Air Quality & Environmental Engineering into Material Engineering, with an emphasis on advanced novel materials such as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs). Prof. Kim was named as one of the top 10 National Star Faculties in Korea in 2006 and became an Academician of the Korean Academy of Science and Technology in 2018. He was recognized as ‘Highly Cited Researcher (HCR)’ for 2019 and 2020 in the Environment & Ecology field by Clarivate Analytics. He currently serves as associate editor of Environmental Research, Sensors, and Critical Reviews in Environmental Science & Technology, and has published more than 840 articles, many in leading scientific journals.
