About
To extend my science goals (SDG2); I offer my candidature for the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering.
​
During PhD, I have synthesized a peppermint nanoemulsion and used bio-fungicide (PNE) in controlling growth of Alternaria solani in tomato; for which I received Best Thesis Award in 2020.
​
In summary, I have gained extensive experience in biocompatible nanomaterial synthesis which includes metal and essential oil based nanoemulsion for pathogen control. I have also validated a grassroot innovation practise for which I received SRISTI-BIRAC Appreciation Award.
​
I have utilized my 8+ years of experience on green nanotechnology and pathogen control into translational research by delivering a sustainable food packaging material to mankind. Being a young women researcher, I am also recipient of Women excellence award from Biotech Research Society of India.
​
To continue the concept of green and cost-effective solution for mankind, until now, I have published 19 research-articles in peer reviewed journals and 7 book chapters which attest to hard work, biological insight and outstanding writing skills.
