What I'm looking for

I want an academic role where I can teach Botany and build research in green nanomaterials for plant protection, heavy metal sensing, and sustainable nanophytoremediation—collaborating in a lab that values rigorous experiments and measurable impact.

I am a Ph.D. in Botany and an Assistant Professor (Botany) working at the intersection of plant science and nanotechnology. My research centers on the green synthesis of nanomaterials and their biologically relevant interactions with plant parasitic nematodes and fungi.

I aim to turn nanomaterials into industrially relevant, renewable solutions—especially for heavy metal sensing and nanophytoremediation in real agricultural contexts. Alongside research, I teach and develop expertise across Cell Biology, Plant Physiology, Molecular Biology, and Plant Pathology, with a strong focus on applying experimental insights to improved plant growth, stress mitigation, and sustainable crop protection.
