About Us
Who we are!
The Waste Management Research Group (WMRG) of the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati, is a group of dedicated and enthusiastic researchers working under the supervision of Prof. Ajay S. Kalamdhad and Dr Meena Khwairakpam.
At WMRG, we work on a wide range of research areas, including biological treatment of organic wastes, organic contaminants, and heavy metals in both liquid and solid wastes. We also work with surface and groundwater quality modelling, monitoring, and assessment. For a long time, our vision has been to transform “Waste into Wealth” while also doing our part to help the environment.
