About the Editors
Dr. Sachin Kumar has been working as a Deputy Director in the Biochemical
Conversion Division at the Sardar Swaran Singh National Institute of Bio-Energy,
Kapurthala, India. He completed his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Indian
Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. He has more than 12 years of research
experience in Biochemical Conversion of Biomass to Biofuels including ligno-
cellulosic ethanol, biogas, biohydrogen. During his career at SSS-NIBE, he has
developed the state-of-the-art laboratory facilities for Biochemical Conversion of
BiomasstoBiofuels.Hehascompletedthreeresearchprojectsandoneconsultancy
project and actively engaged in two ongoing research projects. He is coordinating
for one of the projects under Indo-Brazil bilateral collaboration from Indian side.
His area of research is biofuels including bioethanol, biogas, biobutanol, biohy-
drogen, algal biomass, bioprocess engineering, enzyme technology, metabolic
engineering. Dr. Sachin has published more than 50 papers in peer-reviewed
journals, chapters and papers in conference proceedings, and 07 edited books. He
has been granted one US patent and one filed patent in India. He is a recipient of
2016 ASM-IUSSTF Indo-US Research Professorship and selected as
Bioenergy-AwardsforCuttingEdgeResearch(B-ACER)Fellow2016byDBTand
IUSSTF.Heisservingasaneditor,associateeditor,andeditorialboardmemberof
various peer-reviewed journals. He has coordinated three national and two inter-
national conferences and five national training programs.
Dr. Rajesh Sani is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Chemical and
BiologicalEngineeringandAppliedBiologicalSciencesatSouthDakotaSchoolof
Mines and Technology, South Dakota. His research includes extremophilic bio-
processing of lignocellulose-based renewables for biofuels and bioproducts and
bioprospecting of extremophilic microorganisms for developing more efficient and
cost-effective biofuel (bioenergy) production technologies. Over the past 11 years,
he has been the PI or co-PI on over $12 million in funded research. Several of his
accomplishments in research and advising include the following: (i) postdocs
supervised (7); (ii) graduate students supervised (MS students, 10, and Ph.D., 6),
and(iii)undergraduatestudentsandK12teacherssupervised(over35).Hehasone
