Affiliation: INRS-ETE Quebec, Senior Formulation Scientist

Dr. Pachapur is currently working as a Senior Formulation Scientist. Dr. Pachapur completed his PhD in Environmental Biotechnology from INRS-ETE, Quebec, Canada in 2017 on Bio-hydrogen production using a co-culture system. His PhD work on semi-continuous and efficient closed system model for biohydrogen production was applied for industrial applications and technology transfer and resulted in US and CANADA patents publications. His PhD thesis was awarded as "BEST THESIS PRIZE FOR INNOVATION-2017" across three INRS centers. At the "National Biodiesel Conference" in San Diego, the USA in January 2017, he was recognized as "Next Generation Scientists" and his conference presentation was awarded a scholarship.

Dr. Pachapur has nearly 10+ years of combined industrial and academic experience in the related field of molecular, microbiology, fermentation, analytical, and proteomics platforms. He is working on emerging areas of industrial biotechnology such as bio-valorization of industrial wastes, bioremediation using enzymes, development of novel-green methods, molecular profiling on microbial pathways, co-culture fermentation for biofuels, and platform chemicals production, and development of formulations for agricultural applications. To date, Dr. Pachapur has 30+ peer-reviewed publications across internationals journals, edited a book, contributed to book chapters together with above 350 citations, 10 research communications in conferences, and has 2 patents to his credit.
