As a Ph.D. scholar, my research focuses on optimizing biochemical conversion processes using recombinant microbes to enhance bioethanol yield, mainly from pentoses. I explore advanced pretreatment techniques, microbial fermentation, and catalyst development while assessing their techno-economic feasibility. My work aims to bridge the gap between scientific innovation and industrial application, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future and supporting global efforts in climate change mitigation.
