Keynote Speakers

Prof. Haibo Ge
Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX, USA
Title: Distal Functionalization via Transition Metal Catalysis
Haibo Ge received his PhD degree in Medicinal Chemistry from The University of Kansas in 2006, and then moved to The Scripps Research Institute for postdoctoral study. In 2009, he began his independent academic career at the Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis and relocated to Texas Tech University in 2020. Research by his group is mainly focused on the development of novel methods for carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond formation through transition metal catalyzed C–H functionalization.
Dr. Sergey Nikitenko
Marcoule Institute for Separation Chemistry (ICSM), France
Title: Light-to-heat conversion and photothermal catalysis with magnetic nitinol
Dr. Sergey Nikitenko is a Director of Research at CNRS, head of the Laboratory of Sonochemistry in Complex Fluids (LSFC) at the Marcoule Institute for Separation Chemistry (ICSM), France. Sergey Nikitenko obtained PhD in chemistry at Moscow State University, Russia. Currently his research interests focus on the mechanisms of sonochemical reactions and on the development of technologies for carbon-free energy production, more specifically, on synthesis of functional nanomaterials for energy and environment, nuclear chemistry, sono- and photocatalysis. Dr. Nikitenko published more than 140 peer-reviewed papers, delivered more than 100 conference contributions, 5 book chapters and 6 patents. He is an Editorial Board Member of the Ultrasonics Sonochemistry and a Board Member of the European Society of Sonochemistry (ESS).
Dr. Abdulbari Saeed
University of Edinburgh, UK
Title: Environmental Catalysis for Effective Pesticide Remediation from Wastewater
Dr. Abdulbari A. A. Saeed earned his Ph.D. in Environmental Catalysis from the University of Science Malaysia in 2011 and is committed to environmental sustainability. His research focuses on mesoporous materials for water purification, adsorption processes, and converting organic waste into biofuels. As a Visiting Fellow at the University of Edinburgh's Institute for Infrastructure and Environment (IIE) in the UK, he leads a pilot-scale adsorption project using activated carbon from agricultural byproducts to address micro-pollutants in wastewater treatment. Dr. Saeed's significant contributions are evident through over twenty-four publications in esteemed journals and academic books. He actively shares his findings at international conferences, highlighting the importance of his work. Dr. Saeed's expertise in Environmental Catalysis and dedication to sustainable solutions have positioned him as a leading figure in water and wastewater treatment, leaving a lasting impact on research, education, and practical applications in environmental engineering.
