Biodegradability, non-resistant to fire and weathering conditions, large variations in quality, drying, non-availability, etc are the major challenges faced by the plant biomass and are gradually more difficult to manage. At the same time, everyday people are becoming more dependent on environmentally friendly biomass materials because of environmental concerns. My research focuses on developing techniques for increasing the service life of plant biomass materials against the deteriorating agents, production of valuable materials from the waste and lesser/non-used materials, and choosing the right materials for their living conditions having the appropriate properties for a particular use. The woody and non-woody resources dependent people are also part of my research interest. More specifically, I am interested in the following areas -


    • Transformation of woody and non-woody materials
    • Life and livelihood of the forest resources dependent people
