Agricultural wastes and residues have been considered as a sustainable environmental resource if well managed, but the management methods are a challenge in different parts of the world. I am broadly interested in the management of these sustainable environmental resources to create a sustainable environment and economy for agricultural production in developing countries.

I have been involved in Research related to agricultural mechanization, ecological engineering, recycling of agricultural wastes for agricultural soil improvement. I have also been involved in the extension and dissemination of Japanese agricultural technology known as Sawah Eco-technology. My doctoral research work focuses on developing a method of optimizing the available nutrients derivable from pyrolyzed agricultural residues and its application to agricultural soils for higher and sustainable yield in developing countries. I would like to get a job or position where I can contribute in carrying out research and contribute to the “designing of a sustainable agricultural system that integrate human society with its natural environment for the benefit of both”.
