Decontamination of Subsurface Water Resources System using Contemporary Technologies

Deepak Kumar holds a Bachelor’s degree in software engineering and an MBA both from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. He has worked professionally in North America and Western Europe and specializes in business strategy, business transformation, business process improvement, and project management. Currently, as a Senior Manager and a Management Consultant for Central 1 Credit Union, Canada, Deepak is successfully looking after corporate projects and advising the executive leadership team on strategy and operational improvements. His previous publications include co-authoring Management of Coking Coal Resources (Elsevier) and Sustainable Management of Coal Preparation (Woodhead Publishing). Dr. Pankaj Kumar Gupta is a Ramanujan fellow ​at the Indian Institute of Technology (I.I.T.) Delhi, India and post-doctoral fellow in the faculty of environment, University of Waterloo, Canada. His current research focuses on investigating the behavior of pollutants in peatlands (Canada) and mineral aquifers (India) under dynamically fluctuating groundwater table conditions. Majority of his works focus on two areas: (1) understanding the occurrence of bio-geo-chemical interactions when pollutants migrate into groundwater systems; and (2) developing remediation strategies. Dr. Gupta hsa in-depth experience in incorporating novel technologies to map soil-water systems in more than 30sites in India. He is passionate about interdisciplinary research and teaching to understand multi-scale interactions between different components of the subsurface environment, especially the soil- groundwater-pollutant-microbes system. Dr. Bhupender Singh is a distinguished professional with a strong academic background in analytical chemistry. Holding a Ph.D. in this field, he has emerged as a leading authority in the domain of contamination research. Currently, Dr. Singh serves as the Principal Technical Officer at the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi. His dedication and expertise have made a significant impact in the field of analytical chemistry, where he focuses on uncovering and mitigating various forms of contamination, addressing critical issues that impact our environment, industries, and public health. Dr. Singh's work reflects his commitment to advancing scientific knowledge and addressing pressing global challenges related to contamination. Swati Verma has a Ph.D. in Chemistry and is currently affiliated with Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea, as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Air Quality & Materials Application Lab within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Her affiliation began on January 11, 2020, and is expected to end on October 31, 2023. During her time at Hanyang University, she likely focuses on research related to air quality and materials applications, particularly within the field of civil and environmental engineering.
