About
Dr. Abhisekh Saha has completed his Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) from Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IITG). He has done significant research in developing innovative superabsorbent hydrogel by utilizing an industrial solid waste, fly ash. The developed hydrogel showed excellent potential for minimizing the negative impacts of drought stress on soil infrastructures. His current work includes arid land management, waste valorization for geotechnical engineering applications.
