Vivekanandan K.E

Coimbatore

Summary

Five years of teaching experience in the field of Microbiology, and proven experience of research in marine sciences for a period of four years during my doctoral period. Have a couple of years of experience in the synthesis of nanomaterials and nanoparticles from plant and microbial biomass. I have also experience in the field of biochar production from macroalgal biomass. I am currently looking forward to work in Biochar nanocomposites which can be utilised to remove organic contaminants.
