Avg. Impact Factor

Full Name: Dr. Muhammad Khan
Designation: Associate Professor
Qualification: Ph.D.
Specialization: Environmental Microbiology and Biogeochemistry
Research Areas: I teach both undergraduate and postgraduate courses and do research in the field of soil and environmental sciences mainly focusing on environmental microbiology, soil and water pollution, ecotoxicology and bioremediation of inorganic and organic pollutants. My current research projects focus on microbial bioremediation, biotransformation and rhizoremediation of persistent organic pollutants (e.g., petroleum hydrocarbons, explosives and pesticides) and role of microbes in improving crop productivity under abiotic stresses and changing climate.
