RESEARCH SUMMARY

My area of interest is in environmental microbiology, specific in the field of analytical biotechnology,

environmental monitoring, relationship between microbiology and environment, bioremediation as well as

waste treatment. Projects involving the sustainability of the environment also appeal to me as I believe that

knowledge of biotechnology should be used for the benefit of mankind. My works focus in indigenous

microorganisms (IMO) and its potential application in agriculture and environment.
