Devesh Kumar Yadav

About

Devesh Kumar Yadav is a researcher in the field of microbial ecology and environmental health and management. He has completed his Ph.D. in Environmental Science from the Department of Environmental Science at the Central University of South Bihar, following B.Sc. (Hons) from Hansraj College and M.Sc. from the Department of Environmental Studies, University of Delhi. His research focuses on understanding fungi‑mediated fluxes and their role in the resilience of aquatic ecosystems. He works on translating microbial ecology insights into scalable technologies for pollution mitigation and renewable energy generation by developing integrated microbial consortia for sustainable energy production and industrial effluent treatment.
