Iron Oxide-Based Nanocomposites and Nanoenzymes

lt;b>Dr. Harekrushna Sahoo is a faculty of Chemistry at NIT Rourkela (a premier academic institute in India) since 2012. Before joining at NIT Rourkela, Dr. Sahoo had the postdoctoral experiences at multiple universities (UMASSAmherst [USA], TUD Dresden [Germany], and MBC Dresden [Germany]). Dr. Sahoo finished his PhD in 2007 at Jacobs University Bremen (Germany) in a group advised by Prof. Werner M. Nau in the field of peptide chemistry. Thereafter, Dr. Sahoo experienced in the field of protein and membrane fields using advanced optical spectroscopic techniques. Currently, Dr. Sahoo is working in different research fields such as protein dynamics, extracellular matrix, nanocomposites, and environmental chemistry. To make his research work wider and more visible, he is collaborating with national and international faculties.
Dr. Jitendra Kumar Sahoo completed his Ph.D from NIT-Rourkela in the field of Nano and Environmental Chemistry. In 2019 he joined as an Assistant Professor in Chemistry at GIET University, Gunupur, Rayagada, Odisha, India. He has established a Nano & Environmental Laboratory in GIET University. Dr. Sahoo received B. Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Chemistry. His Ph.D. thesis was on the "Iron Oxide Based Magnetic Nanocomposites: Removal of Inorganic and Organic Water Contaminants and Antimicrobial Properties". He has expertise in the field of wastewater treatment, Graphene based materials, Nanomaterials, Photocatalysis, adsorption of inorganic and organic contaminates synthesis of novel magnetic nanomaterials, and antibacterial activity. He has got many collaborative works with eminent professors from IIT, NIT and CSIR Laboratory of India and foreign professors as well. He has taught various courses to undergraduate and post graduate students. Dr. Sahoo is a frequent speaker at national and international conferences and is an Editorial Board member in Environmental Protection Research Journal. He has authored many book chapters with Cambridge Press, Stadium Press, Springer and Elsevier. He has a good number of publications to his credit in many peer-reviewed, high-impact journals of international repute. He has received the Young Scientist Award in 2021 for his contribution and honourable achievements in innovative research. He received the Incredible Young Researchers of India award in 2022 from Record Owner.
