Prof. Meenu Chhabra is a Professor of Bioscience and Bioengineering, and her research is focused on Environmental Biotechnology. Her group work on Algae carbon capture cells, Microbial Fuel Cells, Biomass to Bioenergy, Bioremediation and Biomonitoring. She has a background in Microbiology, with specific training and expertise in enzyme-based bioremediation, bioprocess development, and wastewater treatment. As PI or co-Investigator on several GOI funded grants, She laid the groundwork for the utilizing bio-electrochemical systems for radionuclide bioremediation, algae based microbial capture cells for bioenergy and water treatment, plant microbial fuel cells for domestic wastewater treatment,  Bioremediation of xenobiotics and heavy metals and Point-of-Use sensors for BOD and coliforms.  In addition, She successfully administered the projects, collaborated with other researchers, and produced several peer-reviewed publications from each project. Currently, the group is discussing and demonstrating the work to Industry stakeholders for bench to field applications of our work.  In summary, the lab has expertise, leadership, training, and motivation necessary to successfully carry out work on carbon neutrality, zero waste, zero water, and circular bioeconomy.
