Meet the editors

Mohammed Muzibur Rahman received his BSc and MSc from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, Bangladesh, in 1999 and 2001, respectively. He received his PhD from the Chonbuk National University, South Korea, in 2007. After his PhD, he worked as a postdoctoral fellow and assistant professor in pioneering research centers and universities located in South Korea, Japan, and Saudi Arabia (2007–2011). Since 2011 he is

working as an associate professor in the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials Research (CEAMR) and the Chemistry Department at King Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia. He has published papers in more than 290 international and domestic conferences, as well as several book chapters and 10 books as an editor. His research work has been largely in the area of photocatalysis, semiconductors, nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, nanotechnology, electrocatalysis, sensors, ionic liquids, surface chemistry, gold nanoparticles, electrochemistry, instrumental science, nanomaterials, self-assembled monolayers, photochemistry, μ-chips, and devices.

Abdullah Mohamed Asiri received his PhD from the University of Wales, College of Cardiff, UK, in 1995. He has been the Head of the Chemistry Department at King Abdulaziz University since October 2009 and is the founder and director of the Center of Excellence for Advanced Materials Research (CEAMR). He is also a professor of organic photochemistry. His research interest covers color chemistry, synthesis of novel photochromic and thermo-

chromic systems, synthesis of novel coloring matters and dyeing of textiles, materials chemistry, nanochemistry, nanotechnology, polymers, and plastics. He is the editor-in-chief of the King Abdul Aziz University Journal of Science. He is also a member of the editorial board of Pigments and Resin Technology (UK), Organic Chemistry in Sight (New Zealand), and Recent Patents on Materials Science (USA). He is the Vice-President of the Saudi Chemical Society (Western Province Branch).

Dr. Anish Khan is currently working as an assistant professor at the Chemistry Department, Centre of Excellence for Advanced Materials Research (CEAMR), Faculty of Science, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He received his PhD from Aligarh Muslim University, India, in 2010. He has research experience of working in the field of synthetic polymers and organic– inorganic electrically conducting nanocomposites. He completed

his postdoctoral studies in electroanalytical chemistry from the School of Chemical Sciences, University Sains Malaysia (USM), in 2010–2011. He has published more than 127 research papers in refereed international journals and more than 20 papers in international conferences/workshops, as well as five books, 14 book chapters, and 14 chapters in progress. His research includes the preparation and characterization of hybrid nanocomposite materials and their applications, polymeric inorganic cation exchange materials, electrically conducting polymeric materials, composite material use as sensors, green chemistry by remediation of pollution, heavy metal ion selective membrane electrodes, and biosensors on neurotransmitters.

Dr. Inamuddin is currently working as an assistant professor in the Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He has extensive research experience in multidisciplinary fields of analytical chemistry, materials chemistry, electrochemistry, and more specifically, renewable energy and the environment. He has published 127 research articles in international journals of repute and 18 book chapters

in knowledge-based book editions published by renowned international publishers. He has published 39 edited books with Springer, United Kingdom, Elsevier, Nova Science Publishers, Inc. USA, CRC Press Taylor & Francis, Asia Pacific, Trans Tech Publications Ltd., Switzerland, and Materials Science Forum, USA. He is a member of various editorial boards serving as associate editor for journals such as Environmental Chemistry Letter, Applied Water Science, Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration, Springer-Nature, Scientific Reports-Nature, and the editor of Eurasian Journal of Analytical Chemistry.
