Pallavi Kumari is currently employed as a Researcher at the Centre of Polymer and Carbon Materials of the Polish Academy of Sciences. She earned her doctorate from the Central University of Jharkhand in India in 2017, and she began her scientific career in the field of Material Science and Nanotechnology. She moved to the Indian Institute of Technology, Varanasi in India, to pursue her postdoctoral research on the synthesis and nanotechnological characterization of bio-based materials for industrial and agricultural application, and then to the Agricultural Research Organization, Volcani Center in Israel. Pallavi has also worked as a researcher for the Norwegian firm Capturebank AS, exploring nanotechnological application of developing biochar and biochar-based products for agricultural, agro-industry, and environmental applications. Dr. Kumari's research has given her independent thinking, multidisciplinary research skills, and a good profile in material chemistry, nanotechnology, and polymer science, specifically the synthesis of bio-based nanocomposites materials, and the current book proposal effectively integrates these cross-disciplinary aspects.
