Manoj P R
Assistant Professor, Life sciences, GSS, VSP
Dr. Manoj P R completed his Ph. D from the School of Environmental Sciences, Mahatma Gandhi University, India (2017) on the topic “Sono and Photochemical degradation of some organic water pollutants”. He did six years of post-doctoral research from various international laboratories (South Korea, Germany, Poland, France, and USA) before joining GITAM. He is interested in the various aspects of environmental pollution -from identification of pollutants to their remediation.
