Area research specialization : 

My major research focus is towards enhancing the root system architecture in rice for better nutrient use efficiency, and climate resilience. My research pertains to the identification of genomic regions, genes, markers - SNPs associated with robust root system architecture, higher nutrient uptake, and nutrient use efficiency by conglomerating conventional and high-end state-of-the-art technologies. I am further interested in deploying new breeding techniques and next-generation technologies for unraveling the functional basis of these traits. I am also fascinated by the area of host-pathogen/ pest, beneficial endophyte, host-biocontrol, and host-microbial interactions.

I have proficiency in bioinformatics data analysis, in silico data mining, and molecular breeding techniques, analysis using tools, softwares etc. I have aptitude and skill in handling laboratory and field-based experiments.
