Dr Rashmi Sanghi is currently working as a Research Consultant at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur and guest faculty at the LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur. After obtaining her D.Phil degree from Chemistry Department, University of Allahabad, India in 1994 she has been working at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur India as a research Scientist. She was a visiting Scientist, Chemistry Department, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ, USA in 1997and worked with Worked with Professor Alan S. Goldman.
She is passionate about environmental green chemistry and her major research interests are bioremediation, biopolymers and biosynthesis of nanomaterials using microbes and/ or polysaccharides. Her research mainly focuses on the development of methods that can help in minimizing or eliminating the hazardous substances in the environment. Some of this work related to the green environmental chemistry is nothing but outstanding. She has traveled worldwide for various academic activities and/or professional talks. Her work on design and application of biopolymers in wastewater remediation shows great promise as evident by her patents “A method for preparing auto capped nano particles such as CdS in continuous flow columns” using fungus and “Poly(acryl amide) grafted Cassia grandis-silica hybrid: efficient metal ion adsorbent”. She has over 90 international journal publications to her credit. She has published three books on green chemistry: “Green Chemistry: Environment Friendly Alternatives” (2003), “Green Chemistry and Sustainable Development” (2005) and “Green Chemistry for Environmental Remediation” (2011). She is a member of many academic societies and reviewer of many international journals.
