| Dr. Sorokhaibam Laxmi Gayatri is currently working as an Assistant Professor in Department of Chemistry of Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology Nagpur since February 2015. Prior to VNIT , she spent more than 2 years at CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory Pune as a Research Associate on CSIR five year planned project," Sustainable Environmental Technologies for Chemical & Allied Industries (SETCA)". There she worked on development of new materials and material modification for Environmental applications like Desulfurization of Transportation fuels and Industrial wastewater Treatment.Dr. Laxmi Gayatri received her B.Sc. (Hons) from Manipur University and her PhD from the National Institute of Technology Silchar. She has substantial experience in interdisciplinary topics linked to Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. She has successfully used several physico-chemical processes such as adsorption, coagulation, and cavitation to remove pollutants such as dyes, phenolics, microorganisms, and organics from aqueous streams. Her research group is currently engaged in the oxidative and adsorptive desulfurization of transportation fuels, as well as the development of advanced materials such as modified carbons, nanocomposites, microbed modified adsorbents, and so on. |
