What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in biotechnology, focusing on sustainable solutions and collaborative research.

I am a dedicated biotechnology professional currently pursuing my M.Sc. at Amity University, with a strong focus on biogas production and biomass analysis. My experience at Gruner Renewable Energy Pvt Ltd has equipped me with practical skills in enhancing biogas yield through comprehensive research on lignin and silica content in biomass. This hands-on experience has not only deepened my understanding of the biogas production process but also honed my ability to conduct detailed analyses that drive effective solutions.

Currently, I am engaged in research at The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), where I am exploring the fermentation of microalgae using fungal cell-free extracts. This innovative approach aims to produce biostimulants while reducing costs and enhancing nutrient availability. My academic journey has been complemented by internships at prestigious institutions like IIT Guwahati, where I mastered microbiology techniques and developed a strong foundation in laboratory practices. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to delivering impactful presentations that foster teamwork and success.
