Dr. N. A. Siddiqui is a currently Professor at the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES) (2005 –present). He has a Masters degree in Environmental Sciences from Lucknow University, India (1996) and a PhD in Environmental Biology from APS University, Rewa, India. Additionally he has a number of professional certification viz NEBOSH diploma, NEBOSH–IGC, IOSH Managing Safely, Lead Auditor OHSAS 18001, Lead Auditor ISO 14001 and GRAD-IOSH. Prof Siddiqui’s research interest includes occupational health, safety and environment. He has co-authored more than 100 papers and 8 books. He has supervised 17 PhD and 200 MTech theses. He has organized a number of national and international seminars/conference/MDPs. He has also worked on a number of major R&D projects.
Dr. S. M. Tauseef is an Assistant Professor (SG) and Head of the Environmental Research Institute at the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES), India (2015–present). He has an MS in Chemical Engineering (Process Design) from Sharif University of Technology, Iran (2008) and a PhD in Environmental Engineering from Pondicherry University (PU) (2011). Prior to joining the UPES he worked as a Pool Officer (CSIR, Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) at PU (2012–2015). Dr. Tauseef’s research interests include process safety, especially forecasting and consequence assessment of accidents in chemical process industries. He has developed methodologies for application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to dense gas dispersion, vapor cloud explosions, single and multiple pool fires. His other interest has been in solid waste management, especially the design of continuously operable vermin-reactor systems for assorted wastes, and high rate anaerobic digesters. So far, he has published 25 journal articles, co-authored 3 books, filed 3 patents and presented papers in 21 conferences.

Prof. S. A. Abbasi is Professor Emeritus (UGC) and Founder Head of the Centre for Pollution Control & Environmental Enginee
