My undergraduate thesis at Kathmandu University examined microplastics in surface water from Taudaha and Nagdaha Lakes. I conducted field sampling and laboratory analysis, then analyzed spatial variation and dominant microplastic types in relation to anthropogenic activities.
At Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), I drafted review articles on plastic waste management through alternative construction materials. I also converted waste cooking oil to crude biodiesel through trans-esterification and produced biochar from pistia stratiotes leaves for proximate analysis.
