Publication: Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste
Volume 17, Issue 4

New Manuscript Submission Requirements

All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Hazardous, Toxic, and Radioactive Waste should be accompanied by a list of four potential reviewers whom the authors suggest. This list should include the complete name, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and a list of at least five key words that identify the expertise of each reviewer. The Journal is not obligated to use all or any of the recommended reviewers; however, we believe that this policy will lead to an improved review process.
All submissions for special issues should be uploaded to our electronic system, Editorial Manager. Please visit the Journal’s website for more information and for links to the online submission/review system.

Guest Editors

Milind V. Khire, Ph.D., P.E.

Milind V. Khire is an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. He received his Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Professor Khire has more than two decades of experience with the waste industry, which has included consulting, research, and teaching. He has served as a consultant for various landfill-related projects in the United States, New Zealand, Australia, India, and the Philippines. He has published three edited books on topics related to soil, water, and waste. He has been awarded three U.S. patents for technologies related to leachate injection, gas extraction, and real-time sensing of field-scale properties of landfills. Most of his research is field-based; and he has instrumented landfills in Georgia, Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas, and Washington. He is the recipient of the Croes Medal and Exemplary Service Award from ASCE and the Alpha Award (2011) from the Engineering Society of Detroit.

Krishna R. Reddy, Ph.D., P.E.

Krishna Reddy is a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Illinois, Chicago. He received his Ph.D. in civil engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology. Professor Reddy has more than 20 years of experience in the area of waste management and environmental remediation. He has worked on funded projects and published referred papers in the areas of in situ air sparging, electrokinetic remediation, environmental nanotechnology, chemical oxidation/reduction, containment systems, bioreactor landfills, and beneficial reuse of waste materials. He is also author of two books, Geoenvironmental Engineering: Site Remediation, Waste Containment, and Emerging Waste Management Technologies and Electrochemical Technologies to Remediate Polluted Soils, Sediments and Groundwater, both published by John Wiley. He has received several awards for excellence in research, teaching, and service, including the prestigious University of Illinois Scholar Award.
