What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining biological research and academic content development—impactful projects, collaborative teams, and opportunities to mentor and translate research into learner-focused resources.

I am a biotechnologist and plant biology specialist with over 15 years of experience in research, higher education teaching, and national-level academic project execution. I currently serve as Senior Project Engineer (Subject Matter Expert – Biology) at the National Digital Library of India, IIT Kharagpur, where I design and validate exam-oriented, concept-based solutions for NEET, CSIR-NET (Life Sciences), and CUET (UG & PG).

My background includes postdoctoral research, a SERB Young Scientist principal investigator role, and faculty experience at Amity University Kolkata, with a strong publication record in bionanotechnology and plant biotechnology. I combine hands-on molecular and nanobiotech techniques with academic content development to ensure scientific accuracy, conceptual clarity, and broad learner accessibility.
