Thesis Title: Life Cycle based analysis of various materials used in road construction

About

Recently, I had worked on algal biofuel production and I am interested to know the how one can reduce the DOC (mostly metabolic products from cell metabolism) leaching from oleaginous cell. It is particularly interesting as reduction of DOC can increase growth rate of oleaginous algae and can increase the oil proudction.

Before, I was a PhD candidate at the University of Toledo, USA, and working on life cycle analysis. At Toledo, Before I had worked on wetland based treatment of arsenic, where I have used sulfate and iron reducers for studying the transformation of arsenic. I have also proposed soil column study to understand the fate and transport of arsenic in reducing condition when sulfate and iron reducers are present. I have also worked on soil organic matters and pesticide interaction, and on wastewater treatment. I have also done a thorough literature review on metals organic matters interaction with emphasis on NICA Donnan model and on pesticide biodegradation. Recently I have found great interest on application of environmental chemistry microbiology on sustainable development 
In my spare time I would like to read books and I love sports.
