About
I have a deep passion for frugal engineering, particularly in developing cost-effective solutions through innovation and minimalism. As a Microbial Molecular Biologist and Metabolic Engineer, I work within the scientific community to create affordable prototypes aimed at addressing real-world challenges. My current research is centered on tackling the global biofuels crisis through genetic engineering approaches.
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the School of Energy Science and Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, Assam. My research focuses on enhancing the efficiency of enzymes involved in biomass-to-biofuel conversion using recombinant DNA technology. Under the guidance of Prof. V.S. Moholkar, I am actively engaged in the following projects:
Biocatalytic desulfurization of crude oil using high-performance genetically engineered microorganisms.
Gas fermentation for the conversion of methane to methanol.
Production of alcoholic biofuels and other value-added chemicals through genetically modified microbial systems.
