About
Prof. P. Sankar Ganesh is a Professor of Environmental Biotechnology and the Coordinator of the Graduate School in Global Sanitation at the Department of Biological Sciences of BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. He has 26 years of sandwich experience in academia and industry across SAARC, the Middle East, and Europe. Prof. Ganesh received his Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering from Pondicherry (Central) University, India. Before his current academic tenure in India, he had post-doctoral training at the National Institute of Applied Sciences, Toulouse, France. After joining BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, in 2009, Prof. Ganesh started teaching ecology, environmental science, environmental biotechnology, waste management, sanitation technology, and gene toxicology. His research focuses on waste and wastewater treatment, biomethanation, and biohydrogen production. Prof. Ganesh has been involved in several academic, translational, and societal projects funded by the Swiss Red Cross, the Department of Biotechnology and the Department of Science & Technology, the Government of India, Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), the Government of Andhra Pradesh and BITS Pilani. He has published 4 books, 25 book chapters, and 217 research papers in reputed international and national journals and conference proceedings.
