I have completed a dual degree (BS-MS) program from IISER Bhopal. For my Master's dissertation, I worked in the group of Dr. Nishad Matange at IISER Pune towards understanding the structures, diversity and interactions in native soil microbiota from various places in India. I worked towards using culture dependent as well as independent methods to look at bacterial interactions. As a long term career goal, I plan on using the knowledge of plant microbe interactions and soil microbiology, to innovate agricultural practices in India.
