                Ackmez Mudhoo holds a First Class B.Eng. (Hons.) degree in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, an M.Phil. degree by research Chemical Engineering and a Ph.D. Environmental Engineering, all from the University of Mauritius. His research interests span (i) bioremediation of organic residues and pollutants, (ii) green chemistry approaches for enhanced biomass pretreatment, (iii) adsorption, and (iv) mathematical analysis and modeling of related processes. He is a Senior Lecturer in the department and has > 13 years experience in lecturing and research.  He also reckons two years’ full-time experience (2006-2008) as ‘Chemical Process Engineer’ in the design, operation and maintenance of a sewage treatment plant.  He was the Chairperson of the Local Organising Committee for MAURITIUS 2011 – 1st International Conference on Waste Management in Developing Countries and Transient Economies, 5–8 September 2011, CODWAP Conference under CODWAP Project Framework. He has also been a TWAS Affiliate for the 2013-2017 Tenure, and served as Associate Editor for 'Environmental Chemistry Letters' (Springer). His ORCID ID is http://orcid.org/0000-0001-5712-6673.
