Statement of Purpose

Environmental issues are not restricted to specific regions, but are global and this makes tackling them even more difficult. Problems such as rising pollution levels, climate change phenomena and resource depletion threaten to ruin our future if unchecked. Water, soil and air pollution have been responsible for many illnesses and fatalities all over the world. It has been estimated that approximately 12.6 million people died as a result of living or working in unhealthy environments. Access to safe and clean energy is another challenge the world is facing today. Many rural regions in India and many other countries still lack access to usable energy. Since my early days in college, I have made an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of these problems. My love and passion for the environment grew as I kept learning and as a student of engineering, I was determined to come up with solutions to these environmental challenges. This is what drove me towards the field of Environmental Engineering.

My primary research interest would be in achieving energy-efficient water treatment to produce safe drinking water. This is very important today in the scenario of clean water scarcity, especially in poor nations. Polluted water is a major problem in India where water-borne diseases contribute to around 22% of all illnesses. I am very interested in the research being conducted by Dr. Gary Amy in the field of water treatment. I am also interested in the research on sustainable water treatment being carried out by Dr. Sudeep Popat. I believe that using an inter-disciplinary approach is the key to solving environmental problems. I am keen on engaging with students and faculty across various disciplines such as chemistry, biology and geology to create a nexus of information. I would like to specialize in the area of Environmental
