Dr. Kankana Seal is an Indian researcher, entrepreneur and founder of startup company named “K Dvally Pvt. Ltd.”, West Bengal, India. Her research area is broadly focused on water geochemistry, material science, wastewater treatment, greenhouse gas, waste management, and resource management. Prior to the entrepreneurship, she had worked as a “Senior Researcher” Scientist at the “Institute of Environmental and Agricultural Biology (X-BIO), University of Tyumen, Tyumen, Russia”, which is known to be one of the renowned research centres in the Siberian region in the field of climate change, ecological balance and biodiversity. She has broadened her skills to find the effect of water geochemistry and the emission of greenhouse gases from all types of ecosystems (wetlands, marsh, bog, fen, swamp, peatland etc.), wastewater ponds and constructed wetlands, on the climate change.
She also worked as an “Institute Post-Doctoral Fellow” at IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, India in the field of greenhouse gas emission from mining area and its storage techniques using nanomaterials.
She completed PhD in interdisciplinary research on Environmental Chemical Engineering and the use of condensed matter physics (as an eco-friendly environmental protection solution) from the National Institute of Technology Durgapur, India, in 2022. In my PhD thesis, She adopted multidisciplinary research topics on water geochemistry, water quality, water pollution abatements using material physics and the effect of water quality on human-ecological health, etc. She has explored several drawbacks of the deterioration of water quality parameters in the Indian River and its effect on the environment, ecology, climate and human health.
