Plenary/Keynote Speakers

8th International Conference of Recent Trends in Environmental Science and Engineering (RTESE 2024)



We are pleased to announce the plenary and keynote speakers for the 8th International Conference of Recent Trends in Environmental Science and Engineering (RTESE 2024) :



Dr. Chris Bauch

Dr. Chris Bauch
University of Waterloo, Canada
Plenary Speaker

Chris Bauch is a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, Canada. He studies coupled human-environment systems in ecology, environmental sciences, epidemiology and climate science. Study systems include coupled social-climate systems, forest-grassland ecosystem mosaics, and vaccine scares, among others. He also conducts research on data-driven dynamical systems with a specific focus on hybridizing dynamical systems and deep learning to predict and characterize tipping points. His work has reached a wide public audience through the media, having been covered in The New York Times, Scientific American, USA Today, BBC News and other sources. His research has been published in journals such as Science and Proceedings of the National Academy of the USA, and has been funded by organizations such as the World Health Organization, the United States Food and Drug Administration, DARPA, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Topic of Keynote:

Dr. Stan Kubow

Dr. Stan Kubow
McGill University, Canada
Plenary Speaker

Stan Kubow is an Associate Professor at the School of Human Nutrition at McGill University and an honorary Associate Professor at University of Hong Kong and The University of Queensland. He has published more than 170 peer-reviewed research articles focused primarily on the impact of food components, diet, and nutrition in a variety of human diseases and environmental pollutant exposures. His research involves cell and tissue culture, animal models and clinical intervention trials to evaluates the health modulating properties of prebiotics and probiotics, peptides and a wide variety of phytochemicals against metabolic and neurological disorders and environmental pollutant toxicities. This research involves assessment of biomarkers of redox status, inflammation, metabolomics and the gut microbiome to explore mechanisms of action. He is ranked among the list that represents the top 2 percent of the most-cited scientists in the world according to the composite citation index released by Stanford University. He serves on the editorial boards of Microorganisms, Nutrients, and Foods and participates as a grant panel member of Tri-council funding agencies including Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). He is recruited regularly by industry to support nutritional, toxicological, biochemical research investigations via grant and research contract support.
