• Leading R&D efforts in areas of wastewater treatment (domestic and industrial)• Executed multiple research programs to meet the needs of various Siemens water businesses ranging from drinking water treatment to industrial wastewater treatment• Project lead for light house project on CO2 fixation and utilization. • Developed a novel algal photo-bioreactor for CO2 fixation(Case Number Patent: 2011P05710 IN)• Led the technical research team for the development of pilot scale photo-bioreactor for domestic wastewater treatment• Collaborated with TU Delft University and led the researchers for modeling and simulating of algae-bacteria biofilm• Formulated a innovative way to enhance the performance of electrochemical oxidation of contaminants for water purification (Patent filing decision: Pending)• Developed a way for regeneration of granular ferric hydroxide using a reductant solution (Patent filing decision: Pending)• Designed a bench-top auto-culturing apparatus for microbial cultures (Patent filing decision: Accepted for patent application)

• Constructed Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) to generate electricity from wastewater (no other external sources) and Microbial Electrolysis Cells (MECs) to produce Hydrogen gas (H2) from wastewater & small external voltage. Developed an structure to couple both MEC and MFCs to produce H2 gas using only wastewater and no other external sources, i.e. MEC was powered by MFCs for external voltage.• Designed a model for thermo-chemical pretreatment & enzymatic hydrolysis processes for ethanol production from switch-grass to have theoretical estimation of concentration of final products on varying various parameters & also to know the behavior of these products in reactors in different conditions.• Worked on the project of bioremediation of chloroethene contaminated sites.

• Studied the Carbon monoxide emission concentration in 3 & 4 wheeler power driven on-road automobiles and computed the violation statistics with respect to European emission standards in Varanasi, India.• Evaluated the hazards caused due to improper handling of Waste Electrical & Electronics Equipment (WEEE) & developed the appropriate strategy for its management and safe disposal, which can be effectively applied for developing countries.• Assessed the feasibility of developing eco-industrial Park in rural areas (sustainable development) using biomass power plant at the centre of cluster and with an aim to develop an industrial chain so as to finally reach to near zero-waste.

• Assessed air quality of the ambient concentrations of various air pollutants (SO2, NO2, PM10, CO, Ozone, Elemental & Organic Carbon) and performed emission inventory and the source apportionment studies in Kanpur city, India. • Reviewed current air quality standards/criteria in India. Listed out 16 pollutants of which dose-response on human health were studied and proposed new ambient air quality standards to the Indian government for these listed pollutants.
