B.Tech Biotechnology — NIT Warangal · Research: Microbial chain elongation & waste-to-fuel conversion

This page links to my professional profiles and my CV. I work at the intersection of wet-lab microbiology and computational analysis: reverse β-oxidation (microbial chain elongation), converting food and organic waste into fuels, genome-based trait prediction, and machine-learning driven process optimization. Current work focuses on developing subcritical hydrocarbon co-solvent pyrolysis methods to increase fuel yield and quality.
