Applied microbial technology

Atmospheric cold plasma 

My research interests include biofilm physiology, application, eradication strategies, altruistic nature and evolutionary aspects of biofilm borne microorganisms relevant to food industries under diverse conditions. The spore harbouring biofilm in the dairy industry is a principal target of my future proposal. A quick identification method with possible irradiation strategies using Atmospheric Cold Plasma are the two sole objectives of my proposal.
