Applications are invited for ONE position of Research Fellow on a project under the supervision of Prof. Smita Raghuvanshi (Dept. of Chemical Engineering) and Prof. B. Vani (Dept. of Biological Sciences).

Scientific technologies have been adopted worldwide since the Paris Agreement in 2015 to reduce GHG emissions and prevent climate change. Technologies such as Carbon capture utilization (CCU) via bacterial route are the objective of our work and include the experimental studies at different concentrations of CO2 on a 20 L Bioreactor. Another important work includes finding the Carbon concentration mechanism (CCM) via the bacterial route. The work also includes the kinetic studies to be carried out for the obtained experimental results.
