Taste in Waste
Taste in Waste - Satinder Kaur Brar, INRS
The Frontiers of Science meeting is a prestigious series of international meetings for outstanding early career scientists and researchers, which was initiated by the National Academy of Sciences (USA) in 1989 and which has since been adopted by a number of national academies and scientific organisations around the world. Frontiers of Science meetings are designed to bring together future leaders in all scientific disciplines, in an environment which encourages informal networking and discussion, and to explore opportunities for international and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Participants are encouraged to think about the ‘big questions’ at the frontiers of their field and those of others, and to identify new and emerging scientific challenges on the horizon of current knowledge.

Biography
Dr. Satinder Brar is a professor and James and Joanne Love Chair in Environmental Engineering at York University. She is a nationally and internationally recognized researcher with exceptional expertise in the intersecting areas of environmental engineering and its impact on the overall wellbeing of the global community. Her research has transcended frontiers and is now adapted all around the world. Brar's research on biopesticides and biofertilizers using wastewaters is now applied in Vietnam, Morocco, Ivory Coast, Thailand, Mexico and India. She is frequently invited to give talks in different international forums and conferences, about a wide-ranging subject of applied biotechnology. She was invited by German, Mexican, Indian and Chinese Academy of Sciences to share her experiences on solid waste value-addition and fate of emerging contaminants. Brar has been counted amongst the most outstanding and innovative world-class researchers whose accomplishments have made a major impact in her field. She has been invited by different grant agencies worldwide (including France, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, Poland, Austria, Malaysia, Australia, US, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, among others) as a reviewer and an expert on panels.
