Yamini Mittal (GATE- SRF)
I did my B.Tech in Biotechnology from NIT Jalandhar, Punjab. I have qualified for GATE-JRF (AIR-105) and currently pursuing my PhD in CSIR- IMMT. Further, I am keenly willing to implement my skills for enhancing the treatment rate of CWs to improve it in terms of feasibility and cost effectiveness for large scale application. I am also interested to deal with the problems associated with field scale use of constructed wetlands. 







Prashansa Tamta (JRF-UGC)
I did my M.Sc. in Environmental Science from GBPUA&T, Pantnagar. I qualified my JRF (UGC) for pursuing PhD. I am basically working on optimization of electrode performance in CW-MFC and also interested in analysing electrical connection pattern for waste water treatment enhancement and electricity generation.

Rupobrata Panja (CSIR - SRF)
I completed my M.Tech. in Biotechnology from KIIT University, Bhubaneswar. After qualifying for CSIR SRF, I started pursuing my doctoral studies on sustainable treatment technologies involving Bio-electrochemical Systems. Also, my aim is to establish a robust modeling system to address several optimization drawbacks on constructed wetlands.
