Work History
MSc Research Project
GEMS Arts and Science College
01.2026 - 06.2026
- Valorization of the Invasive Weed Sphagneticola trilobata for Cellulose Nanocrystal Extraction and Wastewater Remediation
- Extracted cellulose nanocrystals from stem and leaf tissues via acid hydrolysis.
- Utilized SEM, XRD, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy to analyze nanoparticle morphology and crystallinity.
- Synthesized CNC-Alginate hydrogel beads, achieving significant removal rates for Lead (Pb2+) and cationic dyes (Crystal Violet & Malachite Green).
- Conducted phytotoxicity bioassays on cowpea seeds to verify effluent detoxification safety.
BSc Research Project (Group project)
Albio Technologies
12.2023 - 01.2024
- Antibacterial Activity of Plant Extract Allium sativum Against Multidrug-Resistant Foodborne Pathogen
- Evaluated the potential of natural bio-actives against multi-drug resistant foodborne pathogens, demonstrating that target microbes show no specific resistance mechanisms against garlic (Allium sativum) extracts.
- Conducted natural product extraction and standardized raw botanical assays.
- Maintained, sub-cultured, and prepared experimental bacterial strains.
- Evaluated efficacy using standard microbiological antibacterial activity tests.
- Utilized Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) molecular techniques for downstream profile verification.
