Satinder Kaur Brar Full Professor, York University, Ontario, Canada. Satinder Kaur Brar is full professor at York University, Canada. She is leading the research group on the Bioprocessing and Nano-Enzyme Formulation Facility (BANEFF) at INRS. Her research interests lie in the development of finished products (formulations) of wastewater and wastewater sludge based value-added bioproducts, such as enzymes, organic acids, food bioproducts, platform chemicals and circular economy. The facility has so far led to the successful supervision of 30 PhDs, 8 Master's and 6 postdoctoral students. She has collaborative programs with several industries in Canada and researchers from Argentina, Spain, Chile, Switzerland, France, Vietnam, China, USA, India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Morocco, Tunisia and Ivory Coast. She Editor-in-Chief of Nanotechnology for Environmental Engineering (Springer Journal) and has more than 400 publications, including ten books and handbooks that are academic standards and 6 patents. Gilberto Vinicius de Melo Pereira Professor, Department of Bioprocess Engineering and Biotechnology, Federal University of Paran�, Curitiba, Brazil. Gilberto Vinicius de Melo Pereira is a professor in the Department of Bioprocess Engineering and Biotechnology, Federal University of Paran�, Curitiba, Brazil. He is involved in research projects related to the fermentation processes of cocoa, coffee, kefir, cacha�a, distilled beverages from tropical fruits and indigenous beverages, working on the following topics: molecular biology of microorganisms, techniques for analyzing microbial diversity using phenotypic and genotypic methods, Rep-PCR, RFLP, ARDRA, cloning and sequencing, microorganism selection for biotechnological applications, probiotics, kinetics of fermentation, and chemical and sensory analysis of foods. He developed a molecular technique for rapid identification of the main yeasts involved in industrial fermentation processes and successfully selected groups of microorganisms to optimize cocoa and coffee fermentation processes. He has published 81 papers, 13 book chapters and 11 patents. These works generated 3778 citations in the Google Scholar.
