作者簡介
Anil Kumar Verma is the principal editor of the proposed book with expertise in the field of sustainable energy and biorefineries-based application of carbohydrate-active enzymes from lignocellulosic waste. He completed his PhD in May 2015 from the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Assam. The PhD thesis work focused on the carbohydrate-active enzyme glucuronoxylan xylanohydrolase from Clostridium thermocellum. After completing his PhD, he received a prestigious DST-SERB National Post-Doctoral Fellowship (N-PDF) grant and joined The Energy and Resource Institute (TERI, New Delhi). He worked as Principal Investigator (PI) on a project, "Molecular cloning, biochemical characterization and structural and functional investigation of novel carbohydrate-active enzymes." During the N-PDF fellowship, he was selected as an assistant professor at Central University Sikkim, where he teaches industrial microbiology and instrumentation as a course subject. He has supervised 20 MSc dissertations and 3 PhDs (microbiology) are in progress. He has published around 51 publications with a cumulative impact factor of more than 60 in peer-reviewed journals and 435 citations with an h-index of 11.
