Amrik Bhattacharya

About

Environmental researcher with more than 8 years of postdoctoral research experience in the bioremediation of emerging pollutants. Proven history of managing all aspects of research projects from writing the proposal to designing experiments, execution of research plan to the final stage of publishing, and technology transfer. Background in Plant Science, Environmental Science, and Chemistry (Biochemistry) enabled me to easily incorporate elements from these disciplines for preparing newer sustainable remediation measures.
