Kui Huang is a professor and department chairman of specializing in the subject of environmental ecological engineering at the School of Environmental and Municipal Engineering, Lanzhou Jiaotong University, China. He received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Gifu University, Japan in 2014. He served as a researcher for the River Basin Research Center at Gifu University for two years before joining Lanzhou Jiaotong University in 2015. His teaches courses including water engineering construction and environmental ecological engineering. His research interest involves fundamental and applied aspects of biological contaminant reduction, aerobic biodegradation process, water quality safety in river basin, and organic solids recycling, with a focus on biological and sustainable treated system of wastes by earthworms. Dr. Sartaj Ahmad Bhat is working as a JSPS Postdoctoral Researcher at the River Basin Research Center, Gifu University, Japan. He received his Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences from Guru Nanak Dev University, India, in 2017. His primary research focuses on the development and evaluation of treatment technologies for organic waste and wastewater from domestic and industrial outlets as well as organic waste recycling, with a focus on the biological and sustainable treatment by earthworms. He has published over 60 papers in peer-reviewed journals and co-edited 13 books. Dr. Bhat serves as an associate/academic editor, editorial board member, or advisory board member on more than 15 journals. He has been awarded several postdoctoral/research fellowships, and has also received the 2020 Outstanding Reviewer Award from the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health and Top Peer Reviewer 2019 award for Environment and Ecology (Web of Science). Dr. Guangyu Cui is a postdoctoral researcher of College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tongji University (China) since July 2019. He is also an assistant secretary-general of Professional Committee on Rural Waste Management of China Association of Urban Environmental Sanitation and is an instructor of the Yangtze River Delta Eco-Civilization Education Mentor Group. He received his doctorate from Gifu University (Japan) in March 2019. After graduation, he worked as a Special Assistant Research Fellow in Gifu University from April 2019 to June 2019. His research interests focus on composting/vermicomposting treatment of various solid wastes, especially for investigations on fate and behavior of emerging environmental pollutants such as microplastics and antibiotic resistance genes during biological treatment of organic wastes. As a key member, he participated in national and ministerial-level scientific research, engineering projects of more than 10 items. He has published more than 20 papers and 3 books (chapters) in scientific journals such as Bioresources Technology, Science of the Total Environment, etc. Additionally, he is invited to serve as a reviewer in international/domestic scientific journals such as Water Research, Applied Energy, Bioresource Technology, Waste Management and Environmental Sanitation Engineering (in Chinese).Expertise: waste management, composting/vermicomposting, river basin management h-index 10
