What I'm looking for

I’m looking to contribute to sustainability-focused initiatives and address real-world environmental challenges through environmental research and fieldwork.

At IISER Kolkata, I researched carbon sequestration by microalgae and the impacts of nutrient enrichment, microplastics, and heavy metals for my dissertation. I also researched microplastics and their impact on microalgae during a summer internship at IIT (BHU), Varanasi.

As an Environmental Sciences student at Banaras Hindu University, I’ve gained field exposure through biodiversity and waste management surveys. I also contributed to The EarthTalk as managing editor and authored an article on human–elephant conflicts in the Terai-Dooars region of West Bengal.
