Brief Statement of research work

My research group mainly focuses on isolation, identification and characterization of microalgae and cyanobacteria for bioenergy and high-value industrial products, along with the elucidation of molecular mechanisms involved in algal biomass production and metabolite synthesis. We also study the impact of abiotic factors for enhanced biomass production and efficient biomass harvesting. We intend to develop cost-effective technology for the conserved and sustainable utilization of bio-resources mainly microalgae and cyanobacteria, wastewater treatment and recycling, and biomass-to-bioenergy conversion.
