Izwandy Idris
Dr. Izwandy Idris is Head of the South China Sea Repository and Reference Centre (RRC) within the Institute of Oceanography and Environment at the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu.
His research interests include the systematics (taxonomy), biology, and ecology of marine invertebrates, with in-depth works on the marine worm (Annelida: Polychaeta). Dr. Idris' research group works on several aspects including small-scale biogeography in coastal and estuary, biofouling ecology, biology, and ecology of commercially related species for sustainable application. His group also has started taking an interest in deep-sea polychaetes.
The overarching objectives of Dr. Idris' research group is to systematically catalogue the marine invertebrate diversity in Malaysia and to apply the knowledge on the ecological and biological requirements of the species for the betterment of people through economic empowerment, health, and the environment in a sustainable manner.
Łukasz Jaremko
Dr. Łukasz Jaremko is Associate Professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology.
Research in Dr. Jaremko's Molecular Diagnostics and Drug Discovery (MD3) group focuses on atomic-level insight into essential and topical questions from biochemistry and medicine.
Nicholas W Jeffery
Aquatic science biologist at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada; Adjunct Faculty, Department of Integrative Biology, University of Guelph; PhD from the University of Guelph in Integrative Biology.
Malcolm Jobling
Professor of Fish Biology and Aquaculture. Authored and edited books on fish biology, physiology and nutrition, and aquaculture, and serving editorial board member for fisheries and aquaculture journals. Formerly, member of EUCost, ICES and academic society steering committees.
Magnus L Johnson
I am a marine scientist with eclectic interests including crustacean biology and fisheries, fisheries management generally, krill swimming behaviour, cleaner fish, coral reef systems, the relationship of marine commensals and their hosts and the eyes of shrimps. I work in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Hull where I am the Director of the MSc in Environmental Change Management and Monitoring. I am a fellow of the Marine Biological Association and a board member of the Science-Art foundation "Invisible Dust".
Sheri L Johnson
A behavioural ecologist with broad interests in sexual selection, mating system evolution, sperm biology, behavioural epigenetics, and the effects of environmental challenges (e.g., hypoxia, toxins, and microplastics) on the reproductive and behavioural ecology of animals. Study systems include marine invertebrates, marine and freshwater fishes (including zebrafish) and terrestrial invertebrates (weta and stag beetles). Overall, Dr Johnson's research programme investigates both genetic and environmental effects on behaviour and reproductive fitness.
David W Johnston
Dave Johnston is a biological oceanographer and marine conservation ecologist whose research focuses on the habitat needs of marine vertebrates in relation to pressing conservation issues.
Sanket J. Joshi
Sanket Joshi is currently serving as a Professor and Deputy Director, at Amity Institute of Microbial Technology, Amity University Rajasthan, Jaipur, India. He served as Deputy Director, Oil & Gas Research Center (2018-2023), and an Application Specialist, at Central Analytical and Applied Research Unit, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman (2013-2023). He holds BSc and MSc degrees from Sardar Patel University, India, and a PhD degree from M. S. University of Baroda, India – all in Microbiology. Dr. Joshi has 18 years of academic teaching and research experience, and 4 years of industrial R&D experience, in India and Oman. While working in Indian pharma companies, he undertook several turnkey projects (both upstream and downstream) on antibiotics (β-lactams, macrolides, glycopeptides), antidiabetic drug (for type II diabetes), and Co-enzyme Q10. His current research interests encompass: Energy (In-situ/ex-situ microbial enhanced light/heavy oil recovery; chemical enhanced oil Recovery; biofuels); Microbial products (biosurfactants, biopolymers, R&D and scale-up); and Environmental bioremediation (crude oil pollution; analysis, mitigation, and control of souring by Sulfate reducing bacteria; HPAM contaminated sites). Those research projects are multidisciplinary, involving both biotechnology and engineering disciplines. Since he joined SQU, his research team has received over 5.44 million USD in research grants and service contracts and established bioproducts for petroleum and environmental applications. He has 198 scientific publications as papers in international journals (95), book chapters (23), conference proceedings (67), international books (12), and one Australian Innovation Patent to his credit. Dr. Joshi serves as an Academic/Associate Editor for some of the highly reputed journals: Frontiers in Microbiology, PeerJ, BMC Biotechnology, Ecotoxicology, Petroleum Science and Technology, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, and Heliyon. He is book series editor of ‘Advances in Biotechnology and Bioengineering', Elsevier INC.; Guest editor for Frontiers in Microbiology, Energies, Sustainability, Scientifica, Biocatalysis and Agricultural Biotechnology, Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Environmental Quality Management, and Open Biotechnology Journal; and a recognized reviewer for different journals (Elsevier, Springer Nature, T&F, Wiley/AOCS, RSC, ACS, Hindawi, DE Gruyter, MDPI and others). He served as an intermediate guide for 30 undergrad/grad students and 3 PhD students, in India and in Oman; an active member of MEOR research team at SQU since 2009 and established a state of art research and service laboratory at SQU. He was awarded as “NRI Senior Scientist Award”, from Microbiologists Society, India, during academic year, 2019-2020. He has 4329 citations, h-index of 31, and i10 index of 61 (Google Scholar), and was listed among the 2% of the "Stanford University – Elsevier” list of the highly cited scientists in the world for - 2022 and 2023, for excellence in scientific research in ‘Energy’ and ‘Biotechnology’ disciplines.
