Dr. Surendra P. Shah, Presidential Distinguished Professor
University of Texas at Arlington;
Walter P Murphy Professor(emeritus)
Northwestern University, USA


Prof. Shah has been actively involved in concrete technology research for several decades. Prof. Shah's research addresses a variety of topics in concrete materials science and engineering, including high-strength concrete, shrinkage measurement, nondestructive test methods to monitor properties ranging from setting time to the modulus of elasticity, and rheology of fresh concrete, self-consolidating concrete, and nanotechnology applications. He has made pioneering and groundbreaking contributions to the understanding of fiber-reinforced concrete, damage, and fracture, as well as developing innovative experimental techniques. He served as a Professor of Civil Engineering, at Northwestern University and founded NSF-funded Center for Advanced Cement Based Materials (ACBM) including the academic partners universities of Illinois, Michigan, Purdue, and NIST. This center has encouraged multidisciplinary research and established a new paradigm in materials science research for cement and concrete. In addition to teaching at Northwestern, he has taught at the University of Illinois at Chicago and served as a visiting professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), University of Sidney, Denmark Technical University, Delft University of Technology, National University of Singapore, Darmstadt Technical University and LCPC Paris. He has been an honorary professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and L'Aquilla University in Italy, a guest professor at Southeast University, and the distinguished professor at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, and Jinan University China.

Reducing Environmental Pollution from Pesticides through Increasing Environmental Resistance and Reducing Use
Dr. Leon Higley, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA


Dr. Leon Higley is a Professor of Applied Ecology in the School of Natural Resources. His work is focused on insect ecology; however, he and his students have concentrated in four areas: (1) the ecophysiology of plant-insect interactions, with emphasis on photosynthesis and yield loss mechanisms, and applications through pest management decision making, (2) insect conservation biology, (3) decompositional ecology and forensic entomology, and (4) ecophysiology of insect extremophiles. Dr Higley received a BA in chemistry (Cornell University), MS in entomology (Iowa State University), and PhD with a double major in entomology and crop production/physiology (Iowa State University). He has served as subject or associate editor of 5 scientific journals, has co-edited or written 5 books, has written 22 book chapters, and is co-author of 125 peer-reviewed papers.

Classification of Waste: Assessment of HP 14 Ecotoxicity
Dr. Margarida J Quina, University of Coimbra, Portugal


Margarida J. Quina is Associate Professor with Habilitation at the Department of Chemical Engineering – University of Coimbra, Portugal. Her work is focused on waste and wastewater management aiming at developing circular economy and biorefinery approaches while ensuring environmental protection. The main technologies studied have been anaerobic digestion and composting for organic waste, while the recovery of nutrients and metals has been tackled through physical and chemical processes (e.g. adsorption, chemical precipitation, membranes, etc.). Studies involving ecotoxicity assessment of waste have been addressed to ensure environmental protection. She participated in more than 30 R&D projects and supervised several Master’s and Ph.D. theses. She is the author/co-author of over 100 peer-reviewed papers, 12 book chapters, 1 patent, and more than 120 communications in International Congresses.
