Environmental materials, sustainable materials, biodiesel, bioadsorbent, iron oxide nanoparticles, water pollution, flood prediction, remote sensing.

Introduction

Environmental and sustainable materials research seeks to reduce pollution, improve resource efficiency and develop cleaner energy options. Priya A. K. contributes to this field from the Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences in India, with an ORCID record that lists her published works [2]. Her work spans experimental, analytical and computational approaches.

Research Profile

According to Scopus, the researcher has authored 127 documents with 6,572 citations and an h-index of 43 [1]. Her subject area is environmental and sustainable materials. Her recent output appears in journals concerned with fuels, water technology, nanoscience, forensics and computational engineering.

Research Contributions

  • Fuel characterisation: A comparative study examined the physico-chemical characteristics of conventional diesel, e-diesel, biodiesel and aged biodiesel [3].
  • Water remediation: Yellow bluestem biomass was valorised into a bioadsorbent for removing rhodamine B from water [4].
  • Nanomaterials: Work on sustainable production of iron oxide nanoparticles addresses healthcare applications and the cleanup of contaminated regions [5].
  • Environmental monitoring: A study of seasonal surface water pollution in semi-urban Telangana applied PCA, factor analysis and UMAP, and a review examined remote sensing and artificial intelligence for flood prediction.
