9th MDPI Guest Editor Club 2026 | Biology & Life Sciences Session
Meet Our Speakers
Prof. Dr. Madhav Bhatia
Department of Pathology and Biomedical Science, University of Otago, New Zealand;
Madhav Bhatia is a world-renowned expert in the area of inflammation. Research in his laboratory has shown hydrogen sulfide and substance P as mediators of inflammation and potential therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases such as acute pancreatitis, sepsis, burn injuries, and joint inflammation. He has received numerous grants, has authored more than 200 contributions to the peer-reviewed literature, and has given several invited presentations in different countries. He serves as the Editor-in-Chief of Current Issues in Molecular Biology and is on Editorial Boards of 46 journals. His publications have been cited more than 22000 times, and he has an "h"-index of 77.
Dr. Dimitre Dikov Dimitrov
Faculty of Arts & Sciences, NorQuest College, Canada;
Dimitre Dikov Dimitrov is a faculty instructor at NorQuest College (Canada). He graduated with his PhD from the University of Alberta (Canada) and specialized in the interdisciplinary area of computational mathematical modelling of hydrological, physical, and biological processes in natural and agricultural ecosystems through coupled hydrology–soil–vegetation–atmosphere continuum. He pursues his research interests via developing and maintaining the modelling and research Internet platform, DIMONA (Copyright © 2019 Dimitre Dikov Dimitrov, Edmonton, AB, Canada) that is a web application with embedded ecohydrological, Internet of Things (IoT) and machine learning (ML) modelling components. DIMONA is designed for: (i) process-based scientific modelling with explanatory and predictive power, driven by meteorological records at various time steps and constrained vs. site observations, satellite and remote sensing data; (ii) IoT real-time modelling coupled to real-time data acquiring from websites with application programming interface (API) end points; (iii) ML data-driven predictive modelling; (iv) exploring the weather and climate, soil properties, hydrology, and biota; (v) applying the above at any geographical location specified by its coordinates. This opens a perspective to expand site simulations to regional scale, with real-time data for current physical, biological, and ecological processes and characteristics of the natural ecosystems and agricultural crops.
