Chrispin Kowenje studied Chemistry at BSc and MSc levels from Egerton University - Kenya (1990-98) and received his doctorate in 2006 in the field of Chemistry of Materials at State University of New York at Binghamton University -USA. Since 2017, he is an Associate Professor of Chemistry at Maseno University. His teaching and research cover manipulating and applying the chemistry of zeolites, clays, and other natural materials for waste, domestic and drinking water treatments. He contributes to pollution remedial measures. In addition, Chrispin involves himself in optimizing bioenergy especially biodiesel, bioethanol, and biogas production processes. Prof. Kowenje has been a chairperson to Africa Future Earth committee (2019-2022), a member of the review board to global Future Earth organization (2020-2022) and member to Future Talent Council (2020). He has keen interest in how research scientists promote the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals.Andreas Haarstrick studied Chemistry at the Technische Universität Braunschweig (1983-1989) and received his doctorate in 1992 in bioengineering. Since 2006, he is Professor for Bioprocess Engineering at the TU Braunschweig. His teaching and research cover modelling biological and chemical processes in heterogeneous systems, development of models predicting pollutant reduction in and emission behaviour of landfills, growth kinetics at low substrate concentrations under changing environmental conditions, Advanced Oxidation Processes (AOP), and groundwater management. Since 2012, he is the managing director of the DAAD exceed-Swindon Project dealing with sustainable water management in developing countries. Timothy Biswick studied Chemistry and Mathematics at the University of Malawi (1993-1997) and received his doctorate in Materials Chemistry at the University of Cambridge (2006) specializing in organic-inorganic hybrid materials for various applications. Thereafter, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Intelligent Nano-Bio Materials in Seoul, Korea (2007-2008). Since 2008 he has been working in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Malawi.
