Biography

Dr. Abdul-Sattar Nizami has Master of Science in Engineering from the Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. He has a Ph.D. in Sustainable Gaseous Biofuel from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University College Cork, Ireland. He worked at the University of Toronto, Canada as a Postdoctoral Fellow on alternative fuels and life cycle studies in the Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry. Later, he served as an Assistant Professor and Head of Solid Waste Management Unit at the Center of Excellence in Environmental Studies (CEES) of King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He is currently working as a Professor (Associate) at Sustainable Development Study Centre (SDSC), Government College University, Lahore, Pakistan.

He has published over 200 papers on renewable energy, alternative fuels, waste-to-energy, catalytic pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion, and resource recovery. He has delivered over 50 invited talks and training sessions to various national and international forums. His work has been cited more than 18 thousand times in the peer-review press, with a total impact factor over 2000 and H-index of 72.

He has served, and continues to serve, several prestigious journals as a Senior and Associate Editor, including Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews (Elsevier, IF 16.3), Energy & Environment (Sage, IF 4), Frontiers in Energy Research (IF 2.6), and Detritus (IF 2.1). He serves as an Editorial Board Member in Biofuel Research Journal (IF 14.4), Sustainability (IF 3.3), Bioresource Technology Reports (CiteScore 7.2) and Energy Sources Part B (IF 3.1). He is also a guest editor in several special issues and reviewer for many high-impact Journals of Elsevier, ACS, Springer, Wiley, and Taylor and Francis. He is actively involved in community and consultation services to various international organizations, including the European Commission based IF@ULB, National Research Agency (NRA) of France, National Science Centre Poland, World Bank, and UNEP.

He is ranked among Top 2% Scientists Worldwide by Stanford University, USA.

His achievements have been selected as a Role Model by US Times Higher Education World University Rankings for King Abdulaziz University as No 1 in the Arab World in 2019 (https://www.timeshighereducation.com/hub/king-abdulaziz-university/p/environment).

His recent UNEP report, 'Waste Management Outlook for WEST ASIA 2019, WASTE TOWEALTH' (https://wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/31205/WMOWA.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y)
