Series: Separation Science

Founding Editor(s): Priya Goel

Series Editor(s): Priya Goel

Scope:
This multi-volume series is designed to serve as a comprehensive roadmap in the field of separation science and membrane technologies. It will trace the evolution from conventional methods to advanced materials and next-generation applications. Each volume will focus on a distinct yet interconnected theme, encompassing core principles, surface modifications, advanced modifications, nanomaterial integration, and industrial applications. The series will also highlight industry-specific separation processes in pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, chemicals, energy, environment, and food sectors, thereby offering both foundational knowledge and forward-looking perspectives.

About the Series Editor(s):
Priya Goel, PhD, is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical Sciences at GSFC University, Vadodara, India. She has over seven years of experience in research and teaching, with expertise in electro-membranes, separation science, and water treatment. She earned her Ph.D. from IIT Roorkee, where she received the Best Thesis Award (2023). Dr. Goel has published 15+ SCI-indexed papers, holds 3 granted Indian patents, and has contributed numerous book chapters and conference papers. She has also presented her work at several national and international conferences. In addition, she serves as a reviewer for leading journals (Elsevier and MDPI) and is a lifetime member of the Indian Membrane Society, the Society of Polymer Science, and the Chemical Research Society of India.
