Dr. Nadia A. Samak

Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology, University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany

Brief Introduction:

Dr Nadia Samak, a postdoc researcher at University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE), has a good experience in the field of enzyme engineering, metabolic engineering, antimicrobial peptides synthesis, laccase production, biosurfactant, and biodegradation of plastics and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Her research focuses on metabolic engineering and fermentation strategies for enzyme production for environmental contaminants degradation. Currently, she is working on phenanthrene biodegradation and the production of tailored polyester degrading enzymes and microbial degradation using mixed thermophilic and halotolerant microbes for mixed plastic use. She is (co-)author of 24 metabolic engineering, enzyme expression, and waste biodegradation publications. She won the outstanding award “Homboldt fellowship”, and “CAS President's International Fellowship Initiative (PIFI)” for postdoc research at UDE and IPE, and many other international awards. During her research career, she got the chance to be trained in Russia, Japan, Italy, South Africa, Jordan, and Germany. Dr. Nadia is very open to collaborate with the industry sector for projects related to enzymes, biosurfactants, and antimicrobial peptides.

Dr. Wentao Shang

Jinan University

Brief Introduction:

Dr. Shang Wentao graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2021, obtaining a Ph.D. in Engineering. In the same year, he received a Ph.D. in Philosophy from the City University of Hong Kong. Now I am a lecturer at the School of International Energy, Jinan University. My research focuses on the application of membrane separation technology in energy and environmental fields, wastewater treatment and energy conservation, water-energy-environment nexus, seawater desalination, and marine energy development. In the past five years, I have have published over 20 SCI papers in related fields, with 8 papers as the first author. I have been awarded second place in the HK Tech 300 Hong Kong Innovation and Entrepreneurship Patent Challenge, National Scholarship Award, Hong Kong Government Scholarship, and Outstanding Graduate, among others.
