Research Interest

The work of Professor Tyagi and his team focuses on the extraction of heavy metals from municipal sludge and industrial waste by biological processes, the design, analysis and development of bioreactors and the scale-up of industrial microbiological processes. In this context, he is interested in the isolation and characterization of microbial sources for bioconversion and control (applied microbiology). It also studies the mathematical modeling of microbiological processes. Finally, it is concerned with the bioconversion of residues (waste) into products with high added value (biopesticide), industrial enzymes and biocontrol agents.
