Arka Saha

M.Tech

Hi, my name is Arka and I am currently working on Microalgal metagenomics. I wanted to work on systems biology for a long time and I am glad that BEE lab has provided me with the opportunity and the means to pursue that. I also enjoy playing sports mostly football. I like dabbling in music and play the guitar in my free time. I am also an avid anime enthusiast. I guess the penchant for cooking comes with my bengali heritage but that is also something I prize dearly. And this is my repertoire of academics and interests.

B.Tech (2018-2021)

I have a keen interest in the remediation and reclamation of polluted environments. I have primarily worked on pyrolysis modeling and have also utilized biochar in remediating various organic and inorganic contaminants. Currently, I am researching biochar systems, focusing on increasing biochar application's sustainability and economic viability to make it adaptable at an industrial scale. Apart from academics, I consider myself a minimalist who has a deep interest in exploring and utilizing various investment opportunities. I usually like to read, cook, eat, and consume entertaining content when I don't research.
