Sanjib Kumar Karmee is an Indian scientist working in the fields of bioenergy, sustainability, biocatalysis and development of rural technologies.
Education and career[edit]
Karmee is a native of Tebhapadar village, Subarnapur district, Odisha. He studied at the Sambalpur University, Odisha and went on to receive a PhD degree in 2006 from the IIT Madras.[2][3] His PhD thesis title was "preparation of biodiesel from Pongamia oil and value added products from renewable resources: a green approach".[4][5] After PhD, for several years he worked at the Institut für Technische und Makromolekulare Chemie, RWTH Aachen University, Germany and at the Department of Biotechnology, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands to complete his post-doctoral studies.[6][7] In addition, he taught and performed research work at different world class universities, namely, National University of Singapore, City University of Hong Kong and North-West University, Potchefstroom, South Africa.[8][6] Karmee moved back to India in 2018 and started working at the Sardar Patel Renewable Energy Research Institute (SPRERI), Anand, Gujarat, as a principal scientist and head of the Thermo-Chemical Conversion Technology Division.[6] According to a Stanford University article, Karmee is placed in the list of "World Ranking of Top 2% Scientists".[9][10] His worldwide rank in biotechnology discipline was 726.[11][12]
Research and publications[edit]
Karmee's research areas are biocatalysis, biofuels, waste management, circular economy and sustainability.[13][6][14] In particular, he has contributed towards batch and pilot scale biofuel production from different wastes.[15][6] Karmee is author of several publications and these have been published in a number of journals, including Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Green Chemistry, Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Bioresource Technology, ChemComm, ChemSusChem, ChemCatChem, ChemBioChem and Fuel.[1][16]
Social work[edit]
On the social front, Karmee has been extensively highlighting the plight of backward tribal dominated Kalahandi Balangir Koraput Region and western Odisha through his writings; so that language, culture, tourism, infrastructure and education of this area can be developed.[17][18][19] In this regard, Karmee has raised his voice; and written to the PM of India, CM of Odisha, and other policy makers to preserve the medicinal plants and ecosystem of Gandhamardhan hills by establishing a National Institute of Ayurveda (NIA), which will potentially benefit the people of tribal dominated western Odisha.[20][21][22] Furthermore, Karmee has raised the issue of bad quality health care facilities in western Odisha and pressed for establishing a Medical College in Balangir district.[23]
