Our research work on electronic waste (E-waste) management involves impact assessment of E-waste in India and its safe handling and recovery of precious metals for industrial applications. We useacidophilic and cyanogenic microbial-leaching of metals from E-waste (Printed circuit boards – PCBs in our case). We also focus on elucidation of physiological role of microbial strains and the kinetics involved in the process of E-waste bioleaching. My research group also look for viable, decentralized solutions for utilization of lignocellulosic waste to biofuels like biogas and biohydrogen. Previously we also worked on bioremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated sites focusing on treatment methods like biostimulation and bioaugmentaion.Ultimate goal is to generate cost-effective sustainable environmental solutions.
