He has published more than 100 scientific articles/book chapters in peer-reviewed journals/books. He is also the author and editor of seven books published by Elsevier, with several more forthcoming. Dr. Pandey is Associate Editor/Editor/Board Member of the prestigious journals Land Degradation and Development; Restoration Ecology; Ecological Processes; Environment, Development and Sustainability; Ambio; Environmental Management; and Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology by Wiley/Springer. Dr. Gordana Gajic is Senior Research Associate in the Department of Ecology, Institute for Biological Research "Sinisa Stankovic,” National Institute of Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, Serbia. Her research areas are phytoremediation, ecorestoration, plant ecophysiology, and biochemistry. Dr. Gajic has published more than 30 research papers in reputed journals and contributed five book chapters. Dr. Pallavi Sharma is Professor at the School of Environment and Sustainable Development, Central University of Gujarat, India. Dr. Sharma is currently engaged in work on the mechanisms of abiotic stress tolerance in plants. She has published 50 scientific articles/book chapters in peer-reviewed journals/books with more than 7,600 citations. Dr. Madhumita Roy is a DST Women Scientist at the Bose Institute in Kolkata, where she is the Principal Investigator. Her previous work experience includes a postdoctoral fellowship at CSIR-IICB (2012-2013) and teaching at Techno India University's Biotechnology Department as an assistant professor (2014-2018). Jadavpur University awarded her a Ph.D. in Microbiology, North Bengal University a master's degree in Biotechnology, and Calcutta University a bachelor's degree in Zoology. She has ten years of expertise (excluding PhD study) in the field of microbiology, specializing in Molecular Microbiology and Environmental Microbiology. Dr. Roy served as Principal Investigator and Co-Principal Investigator on two research projects, mentored five research scholars to doctoral degrees, and published 18 articles in SCI journals, 10 conference proceedings, and eight book chapters. Her research goal is to use bioprospecting to find bacteria that can be used for environmental cleanup or to improve human life by screening and isolating novel antimicrobials that can kill antibiotic-resistant bacteria (biopharmaceutical application)
