Dr. M. Russel received his M.Sc and Ph.D. degree in Environmental Science and Engineering in the year of 2009 and 2012 respectively, from the China University of Geoscience, Wuhan, P R China. Dr. Russel received research training as a visiting scholar at the State Key Laboratory of Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology, Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, P R China. He had couple of research fellowship experiences during Masters and PhD study periods. Like M. Phil exchange fellowship at the department of chemistry, Hong Kong Baptist University, Doctoral joint research fellowship at Department of Environmental science and engineering, Waikato University and Food and Bio-based Group, Agresearch Ltd. Hamilton, Newzeland. He had worked with DESA, Sustainable development group in United Nation, New York, USA, Head Quarter for sound environmental management. Dr Russel is an environmental science and engineering expert with more than 12+ years’ experience and worked with several local and international organizations as well as research institutes. He served as a scientific reviewer, consultant and associates for ADB,WB and IFC funding projects national and internationally through Easen International Ltd. (Shanghai based consulting firm). Dr. Russel has contributed to the research and development sector with his novel research of developing novel dielectric spectroscopic sensor monitoring the environmental soil and water contamination challenges. He also has developed novel biological approaches to remediate the current water pollution challenges. His novelty and creativity in the research field of environmental science is commensurate with his publication in various sci indexed journals. To date he has published more than 40 sci-indexed international journal and international conference proceedings, 2 patents, and 3 Keynote speech. He has also Chair in an international conference. Dr Russel coedited and edited a couple of books and a book chapter which were published in prestigious Elsevier journals. Dr. Russel is currently 3 international journal editorial board member and working as reviewer. Dr Russel has a significant contribution to his research field which lead him to assume the position of Associate Professor in Environmental Pollution and Ecological Monitoring at School of Ocean Science and Technology, Dalian University of Technology, P. R. China. Research Interest: Green Environmental Monitoring Technology - Microwave measurement techniques for environmental monitoring. - Algae-bacteria consortium system to remediate the wastewater pollutants. - Exploring local marine organism for high value food supplements.

• PhD in Environmental Science and Engineering

• Current research interests mainly concern: - Designing electromagnetic probe, Microwave measurement, dielectric spectroscopy method for online monitoring the soil health quality and fresh and marine water environmental pollution (characterization, identification, and monitoring). Algae-bacteria combine systems to remediate wastewater pollution. Exploring the local marine biological resources (Algae) to mitigate the future high-value food products.
