Research Interests

My current research interests include, but are not limited to, the efficient use of waste biomass in composites, biomass as a source of renewable energy and a precursor to valuable bio-chemicals with the focus to reduce environmental impact. Often considered wastes, these materials contain large amounts of unharnessed renewable energy and nutrients. Over the past few decades, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of biofuels and high-value bio-chemicals derived from bio-resources. Biomass is a renewable carbonaceous bio-resource; an alternative to fossil fuel to produce biofuel and bio-chemicals. Non-food biomasses are abundantly available in nature and cultivated approximately around 100 billion tons annually. Biofuels are expected to supply 10% of the world's energy by 2035 whereas they have the potential to replace 27% of global transportation fuel by 2050. The main reason for the growing interest in the use of biomass besides its renewable nature is due to its carbon-neutral and less polluting characteristics. Paris climate agreement requires clean energy transformation to reach net zero emissions by 2060, which can be achieved only by scaling-up efficient energy conversion systems to generate bio-energy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). Biomass conversion can be achieved either through biochemical or thermochemical processes. Biochemical processes find it hard to digest lignin which is the main constituent of widely available lignocellulosic biomasses. Pyrolysis, torrefaction, liquefaction, gasification, combustion, etc. are different types of thermochemical processes. A techno-economic analysis shows an economic advantage of pyrolysis over biochemical and gasification processes. In pyrolysis, the material is subjected to thermal degradation in the absence of air. Resulting in condensable and non-condensable gases, biochar and ash. Pyrolysis is a promising process to convert biomass where the distribution of the product depends greatly on the conditions used. It has been reported that slow pyrolysis yields more biochar whereas fast pyrolysis produces more volatiles. Extensive development in the pyrolysis process is going on recently and a growing interest in its use has been seen because of its simplicity, flexibility, and efficiency. Biochar; a product of pyrolysis, besides volatiles finds potential application in agriculture and environmental sectors.

My current research and recently published work focus on the role of the components in the overall kinetics of the thermochemical conversion process. Both aquatic and terrestrial biomasses have great potential to become future fuels. I intend to continue my research in the domain of biomass conversion and to develop predictive models to help optimize the conversion process so that these diverse precursors can be utilized efficiently. I have developed a unique skill set and believe that the union of acquired techniques, knowledge, and skills from a range of disciplines is necessary to address the challenges posed by the depleting resources of traditional precursors and environmental pollution.

Scientific interests

Teaching is my passion. Career as a lecturer-cum-researcher gives me the freedom to educate young minds as well as pursue my own research. It is my prime responsibility to provide my students with equal learning opportunities and support their continuous intellectual, social, and personal development. As a teacher, I feel that my primary goal is to spur learning by creating a learning environment where the subject matter is presented in an interesting manner with an active involvement of the students in thought-provoking group discussions. I believe that curiosity is a powerful driving force which motivates students to work hard and find answers to the problems. Rather, memorizing the material, the students should question and find answers. In my opinion, problem-solving exercises are effective in encouraging students, working in groups helps them learn the importance of teamwork and collaboration. It brings confidence and brush-up their leadership qualities. Employing case studies, industrial visits, and internship oriented systems can bring in active industrial collaboration by filling the industry-academia gap with continuous assessment of industrial needs and subsequent adaptation of the curriculum and teaching strategies. Lastly, in my opinion, outcome-based education is effective in gauging students’ learning. By closing the loop, not only the student learning but also the teaching performance can be improved.
