Dr. Faiz Ahmad Ansari is currently working as a Sr. Researcher in the Institute for Water and Wastewater Technology in the Science and Technology Research Partnership for Sustainable Development (SATREPs) project entitled “Production of Biofuels using Algal Biomass. His Ph.D. research focuses on microalgae cultivation on demonstration scale (300,000 L) using wastewater as a medium, nutrients optimization for major metabolites, and biomass production. His research also focuses on microalgae harvesting using different techniques, the application of whole and lipid extracted algae as a protein source in aquaculture feed at demonstration scale, the handling of fish at demonstration scale, growth performance, and nutritional value analysis of fish, and the reuse of aquaculture wastewater for microalgae cultivation and biomass production for fish feed. Based on his Ph.D. and post Ph.D. research endeavors, he has a total of 20 peers reviewed publications and seven book chapters, with 888 citations.
