About
Professional SummaryMy specialty is in Applied and Environmental Microbiology. My research interests are directed towards understanding the interactions between microorganisms and their environment. I am particularly interested in studying the ecology, metabolic mechanisms and genetic aspects of microbes which degrade environmental organic pollutants and the application of these microbes.
