Materials Circular Economy - MATE welcomes Associate Editors Dr. Ankit Garg and Dr. Salman Shooshtarian

Ankit Garg 

Dr Ankit Garg is currently an Associate Professor at Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Shantou University, China. He is the former Visiting faculty at Eurasian National University, Kazakhstan and ITMO University, Russia. His research group focus on development and utilization of sustainable materials including vegetation for green infrastructure. The main focus is to examine the bio-physical processes at the interface of soil-plant-biomaterial-microbe-water-atmospheric interaction. He is also awarded “Telford Premium prize” from British Civil Engineers Association for the publication associated with the development of novel biochar for conditioning unsaturated soil hydraulic properties.
