Biography
I mainly do research related to Sustainable services in Built Environment. The detailed research interests include:
• Biological approaches for pollution abatement and control
o synchronized soil pollution remediation and safer edible crop production in untreated wastewater irrigated agricultural fields
o assisted phytoremediation in co-cultivated crop fields i.e., Pollutants-Soil-Nutrients Nexus
o biodegradation of organic pollutants esp. POPs and OPs with short half life
• Atmospheric carbon harvest through hydrophytes cultivated in wastewater
• Carbon sequestration through composting and biochar
• Recycling through composting, biochar, syngas, and biogas production from wasted lignocellulosic and animal biomass such as:
o kitchen waste/biodegradable components of municipal solid waste
o hydrophyte biomass harvested from natural and constructed wetlands
o crop residue
o biomass of invasive weeds
o waste wood arising from different sources
o animal carcass and offal produced during mass slaughtering rituals
o whole animal and its carcass
• Application of compost and biochar for promoting:
o comprehensive soil health improvement
o regenerative agriculture in rice-wheat crop system
o conventional and organic vertical farming of safer and sufficient vegetables at consumer level
