Muhammad Moniruzzaman received his M.Sc. (2004) and Ph.D. (2007) in biochemical engineering from Kanazawa University, Japan. He then worked at Kyushu University, Japan, and Okayama University, Japan. Currently, he serves as an associate professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia. He is now a member of the editorial board of the Biochemical Engineering Journal. His current research interests are on the design and development of biocompatible ionic liquids (ILs) and their application as solvents, (bio)materials, or both, in the development of sustainable technology for applications related to biochemical engineering (e.g., delivery and formulations of drugs and other biologically active compounds and industrial biocatalysis), energy (e.g., novel materials and strategies for biorefinery and CO2 capture and separation), and waste management and the environment (e.g., oil spill remediation and wastewater treatment).
