What I'm looking for

I'm particularly interested in interdisciplinary research on natural systems, environmental change, and evidence-based solutions to climate and sustainability challenges.

At SUPA Biotech, I established and manage a microbiology laboratory in the Himalayas, supporting applied research on soil systems and sustainable agriculture. I developed microbial growth promoters to enhance soil health and promote environmentally sustainable farming practices.

My research at SUPA Biotech includes laboratory and field work on soil and microbial processes. I generate data to support agricultural and ecosystem management decisions, and manage research implementation, analysis, documentation, and reporting.

With the Integrated Mountain Initiative, I conduct interdisciplinary research on climate change, environmental sustainability, and development challenges across the Indian Himalayan Region. I synthesize scientific literature, regional datasets, and stakeholder input, and translate consultation findings into reports, briefs, and knowledge products.

My work also spans molecular and ecological research, scientific writing, and sustainability initiatives. I hold a Master of Science in Life Science from Mount Carmel College, Bangalore, and am pursuing a PostGraduate Diploma in Environmental Law & Policy at National Law University Delhi/WWF India.
