Biography

Dr. Ajmal Khan has completed his PhD in Ecology. His research interest involves microbial community structure and their ecological functions in carbon and nitrogen cycling and their responses to climate change and human activities in Alpine ecosystem (Tibetan Plateau). His research uses state-of-the-art molecular techniques to gain insight into the structure and function of microbial communities in terrestrial ecosystems. Future of area of research includes anthropogenic effects on microbial communities in fresh water ecosystems, linking aquatic microbial ecology to biogeochemical processes, and testing predictions of ecological theory for microbial communities and their functions.
