My research's overarching objective is to ascertain, broaden, comprehend, & develop various dimensions of the fate, transport, and remediation of geogenic, micro, microbial, and emerging contaminants in the freshwater systems. I am currently also working in broadening the base of waste water epidemiology in post covid scenario.
