Biography

I am Dr. Harsha, 48 years gentleman with an M. Sc., Ph. D in Environmental Sciences. My research specialization is Aquatic Microbial Ecology. My research interest includes attempting to identify role of heterotrophic bacterial community in natural aquatic ecosystems and the factors controlling this important biopurification activity in lotic aquatic ecosystem. My future research endeavor would be to identify the factors responsible for decomposition/mineralization process, chemical nature of these factors, pathogenesis, mass-production of responsible bacterial communities by genetic engineering, so as to bring about maximum decomposition in these ecosystems as biological tool in the biopurification process. My Professional ambition is to be a good researcher, try to do original research work for publishing in standard peer reviewed national and international research Journals.
