About Saroj Kumar

Saroj Kumar is currently working as Senior Research Fellow (Ph. D) in the Department of Environmental Science, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar (A central) University Lucknow under the supervision of Dr. Venkatesh Dutta (Associate professor). I have qualified for the NET/JRF in Environmental Science, exam held by University Grants Commission, New Delhi in July, 2016 and join the University as a Junior Research Fellow in January, 2017. I have also qualified for NET in Environmental Science in the exam conducted by ASRB- ICAR in December, 2015.

I have completed my post-graduation in Environmental Science from the same university in 2015 and graduation degree from the University of Lucknow in 2013. My main research emphasis on Domestic wastewater treatment using macrophytic specieses in a mixed as well as in single plantings via artificially engineered ecosystems (Constructed wetlands). I am trying to focus on several aspect of Constructed Wetland such as microbial populations with respect to different macrophytic combinations and their activity and role in the breakdown of wastewater
pollutants mainly organics, nutrients and heavy metals. I am also focusing on interaction studies among different macrophytes within constructed wetlands in the form of Interspecific competition to know dominance characteristics of the macrophytes.

I also have some publications in the form of book chapters, review and research articles in the reputed journals.
