Expertise Summary

Anurag has a background in biomass chemistry, processing and separations for the production of energy, chemicals and fuels. Additionally, he is also interested in arsenic remediation from water using plant feedstock. He is currently working with Prof. Larson in waste management and defining hydrogen sulfide emissions from manure storage and processing facilities on farms.
