Dr. Showkat Ahmad Bhawani is presently working as an Associate Professor at the Department of chemistry, Faculty of Resource Science and Technology, UNIMAS Malaysia. In addition to this, he has a teaching experience of two years from King Abdul Aziz University- North Jeddah and a post-doctoral experience of Three years from the Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia. He has received his M Sc. in Analytical Chemistry and Ph D. in Applied Analytical Chemistry from Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. He is working on the synthesis of molecular Imprinting polymers for the removal/extraction of dyes, fungicides, and various natural products from environmental and biological samples. In addition to this, he is also working on the development of new test methods and determining standard conditions for analysis (Separation, Isolation, and Determination) of various analytes from environmental and biological samples. He is involved in the analysis of samples like Surfactants, Amino acids, Drugs, Vitamins, Sugars, and Metal ions. He has published 1 book and 8 book chapters and he has published more than 30 papers in various journals. He is a life member of the Asian polymer association and editorial board member of several journals. His research focuses on the process-property-application correlation of nanocellulose-based assembled dimensional structures, as well as the fabrication of functionally and structurally sound dimensional architecture for predefined applications. He has presented widely on his research, publishing ten book chapters, and over 30 research papers. He serves as a consultant both in academia and for industry. Professor Jawaid has more than 16 years of experience in teaching, research, and industries. His areas of research interests includes hybrid composites, lignocellulosic reinforced/filled polymer composites, advance materials: graphene/nanoclay/fire retardant, modification and treatment of lignocellulosic fibers and solid wood, biopolymers and biopolymers for packaging applications, nanocomposites and nanocellulose fibers, and polymer blends. He has published 38 books, 65 book chapters, more than 350 peer-reviewed international journal papers; in addition to 2 patents and 6 copyrights. He is the founding Series Editor of Composite Science and Technology Book Series from Springer-Nature, and also Series Editor of Springer Proceedings in Materials, Springer-Nature. Beside that he is also member of International Advisory Board of Springer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials. He worked as guest editor of special issues of SN Applied Science, Current Organic Synthesis and Current Analytical Chemistry, International Journal of Polymer Science, IOP Conference Proceeding. He also in Editorial Board Member of Journal of Polymers and The Environment, Journal of Plastics Technology, Applied Science and Engineering Progress Journal, Journal of Asian Science, Technology and Innovation and the Recent Innovations in Chemical Engineering.
