What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in research and aquaculture, with a focus on innovative solutions for food safety.

I am a dedicated Junior Research Assistant with a Master of Science in Aquaculture from the University of Dhaka. My academic journey has been marked by a strong focus on the molecular characterization of pathogens in aquaculture, achieving a GPA of 3.98. My thesis explored the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Salmonella spp. in the aquaculture supply chain in Bangladesh, showcasing my commitment to advancing food safety and public health.

In my recent role at WorldFish Bangladesh, I supported project beneficiaries with water quality analysis and pathogen detection in Artemia biomass. My experience includes internships at prestigious institutions, where I contributed to identifying foodborne pathogens in aquaculture value chains. I have also honed my programming skills through Stanford University's Code in Place course, learning Python fundamentals, which I aim to integrate into my research methodologies.
