Pankaj Bhatt's work focuses on environmental science, particularly how microbes break down pesticides, herbicides, and other pollutants in soil and water (a process called bioremediation), as well as related topics like wastewater microbiology and ecotoxicology (the study of how chemicals affect living organisms). Recent publications also touch on more varied applied topics such as aquaculture, drug delivery, and food science, suggesting a broad and diverse set of collaborations.
