Dr. Saumik Panja is an environmental scientist focused on phytoremediation, wastewater treatment, and pollution control. He specialises in using vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides) to remove antibiotics and industrial contaminants from wastewater. His peer-reviewed studies demonstrate the effectiveness of plant-based systems in removing pollutants such as ciprofloxacin and tetracycline. By integrating environmental chemistry, plant physiology, and microbial processes, he develops sustainable solutions for environmental remediation and water quality improvement.
