Profile

I am an accomplished Environmental Engineering Ph.D. graduate with a strong focus on research, particularly in anaerobic digestion technology for wastewater treatment. My doctoral work emphasized resource recovery and the generation of valuable byproducts from whey wastewater, contributing to environmental sustainability and the circular economy. I have solid academic background, including a Master of Technology in Environmental Engineering and a Bachelor of Technology in Civil engineering from reputed institutions. She also has teaching experience at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with a focus on Environmental Engineering subjects. My research interests span across several critical areas, including resource recovery, microbial electrochemical systems, biomass valorization, and nutrient recovery. My publications include studies on methane yield prediction, biochar-enhanced anaerobic digestion, and innovative wastewater management techniques

Enthusiastic and accomplished Environmental Engineering Ph.D. graduate with a fervent passion for research andan unwavering commitment to education. My doctoral research centered on utilizing anaerobic digestiontechnology for the treatment of whey wastewater, with a focus on resource recovery and the generation of valuablebyproducts. By implementing this approach, I aimed to not only mitigate environmental impacts but alsocontribute to the circular economy by recovering valuable resources from waste streams.
