About
I am a PhD-qualified Environmental Scientist and Plant–Soil Scientist with strong expertise in biochar applications, soil health, plant–soil interactions, and contaminant behaviour in agricultural and environmental systems. I hold a PhD in Environmental Science from Government College University and completed international research training at Duke University.
My research integrates plant–soil–carbon–nutrient interactions with applied remediation strategies, focusing on biochar-based soil improvement, contaminant sorption and transport, and the influence of carbon-based materials on soil function and crop performance. I have hands-on experience in SEM, FTIR, XRD, surface roughness analysis, particle size distribution, contact angle and zeta potential measurements.
As a plant and soil scientist, I am particularly interested in sustainable agriculture, soil health restoration, pollutant and emerging contaminant behavior and nature-based solutions that enhance crop productivity while reducing environmental risk. I am highly motivated to contribute to interdisciplinary, impact-driven projects in environmental protection and sustainable land management worldwide.
