A1: Introduction Post: Ankur Sachan

Hello everyone. I am Ankur Sachan and I am from India. I am currently pursuing M.S. degree in Mining Engineering. My research topic is biodegradation of Alaskan coal to extract rare earth elements. My hobbies include cooking Indian food, driving and travelling (I admit I like flights!!)   to new places.

Haiku:

I ran tests for a month

Now, the microbes are dying.

This is a beach in Andaman and Nicobar islands in India where I went this winter break. This beach is famous for bioluminescent bacteria and it glows in night when water is disturbed. I do not have the photograph of night, but trust me it is awesome when you look at it in person!!!
