Microalgae in Waste Water Remediation aims to point out trends and current topics concerning the use of microalgae in wastewater treatment and to identify potential paths for future research regarding microalgae-based bioremediation.

Dr. Arun Kumar is currently working in the field of Microalgal ecology and their applications in bioremediation and sustainable environment. Dr. Kumar has published various research and review papers in reputed journals like Frontier in Microbiology, Frontiers in Biosciences (Landmark) and Environment and Sustainability Indicators (Elsevier); in the area of microalgal bioremediation, biofuels and bioproducts production from microalgae. He obtained his doctoral degree in Environmental Microbiology from Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University, Lucknow, India. In his doctoral work, Dr. Kumar successfully metabolized a widely used and hazardous insecticide Chlorpyrifos by cyanobacterial strain Oscillatoria sp. CYA8 CPF isolated from paddy fields; which could be useful to decontaminate the pesticide residue from paddy fields and also provide a means to fix the atmospheric nitrogen.
