INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT

Appointed as referee/reviewer of International Journal related to Environmental Science

and Engineering.

FIELD OF SPECIALIZATION

Biofuels production, Environmental abatement and bioremediation of wastewater. Other

interests remain on determining the mechanism of heavy metals immobilization in terms

of their interaction with microorganisms. The work on wastewater treatment of heavy

metals contaminated and thermostable cellulase enzymes well cited contributions. I have

made major contributions in production of biofuels from agriculture waste and algae.
