Dr.
Do-Hyeon Kim
Research Interests: Soil & Groundwater Remediation, Resource Recovery, Chemical Leaching, Wastewater Treatment System.
My research focuses on the chemical leaching for copper Recovery from ore, identification and inhibition of substances causing paraffin precipitation in oilfield facilities, remediation of diesel-contaminated soil using surfactant, and in-situ chemical oxidation for remediation of arsenic-contaminated groundwater. I am also exploring the advanced water treatment system for reuse of washing waste water, and development of remanufacturing process to reduce environmental pollution.
Associate Professor
Dr. Bikram Basak
Research Interests: Bioenergy, Anaerobic Fermentation, Anaerobic Digestion, Waste and Wastewater treatment, Environmental Biotechnology
Dr. Bikram Basak is an Associate Professor at the Resource Development Research Institute, Hanyang University, South Korea. With over a decade of post-PhD academic research experience, Dr. Basak specializes in environmental microbiology, focusing on microbial structure, diversity, and function within complex ecosystems. His research employs advanced molecular and multi-omics approaches to enhance the bioremediation of organic pollutants and to generate bioenergy through anaerobic co-digestion of waste biomass and sludge. The research outcomes and developed technologies with an integrated approach to biowaste, sewage, and wastewater treatment, and bioremediation have been aimed at “sustainable clean energy production coupled with waste management for the realization of a circular bioeconomy”. Ranked among the World’s top 2% of scientists in the single year impact category list jointly released by Stanford University and Elsevier. He is serving as Associate Editor and editorial board member for several reputed journals, including Frontiers in Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Frontiers in Biosciences-Elite, Frontiers in Microbiology, and Discover Biotechnology (Springer).
Associate Professor
Dr. Ramesh Kumar
Research Interests: Bioenergy, Fermentation, Downstream purification, Membrane Separation Technology, Clean Technology, Wastewater Treatment
My research interest has been widely focusing on the membrane-based clean and green technologies for the production of liquid biofuels (viz. bioethanol and biodiesel), organic acids (viz. Gluconic acid, Succinic acid) and amino acid (Glutamic acid) using renewable resources as a feedstock. I am also focusing on the ‘Waste to Energy generation’ by using lignocellulosic biomass and waste oil for producing liquid biofuels. Besides, development of clean abatement technologies for the industrial effluents have also been a prime focus in my research area. Membrane-based fast technology on Industrial Wastewater Treatment for recycling and reusing in Circular Economy approach is also a major concern of my research.
