Researcher
Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar (A Central) University

Currently, I am working in District Environment Committee (DEC) Pilibhit, constituted by Directorate of Environment, Government of Uttar Pradesh to monitor and manage the existing environmental issues. DEC's prime concern is to provide technological solutions to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
I am recently engaged in understanding the role and mechanism of ligninolytic enzymes (laccase, lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase) and nature based solutions (constructed wetlands) in the degradation and detoxification of residual organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial wastewater. Moreover, I have been professionally certified in Miyawaki Plantation. I have worked on several Miyawaki plantation sites under government and semi-government projects. In addition, I have published many scientific papers, book chapters, popular science articles and proceedings journals in many international and national scientific journals. Therefore, I am an active member as a reviewer
