Introducing BRT’s new PhD student - Manvendra Kumar

Recently, the BRT welcomed new PhD student Manvendra Kumar. Read all about his firsthand account detailing his background and aspirations below! It all started with a question: What if waste could power our future? Growing up in India, where cultural diversity thrives alongside environmental challenges, I was often struck ?by the contrast between human activity and its impact on nature. This curiosity shaped my academic choices and led me to explore the intersection of waste management and renewable energy. Fast forward to today, I am a first-year PhD student in the BioResources and Technology (BRT) Division at the Czech University of Life Sciences, Prague (CZU). My journey to this point has been filled with challenges, breakthroughs, and a lot of learning—but the goal remains constant: to make renewable energy accessible and sustainable for everyone.
