About

I am a proficient researcher with valuable research and teaching experience acquired at distinguished institutes like Complex Carbohydrate Research Center, US, University of Alberta, Canada, and Lethbridge Research Center (AAFC), Canada. I have been working for past 15 years on multiple projects focused on the economical, environmental and social sustainability of agricultural production. Improvement in livestock performance, productivity, and health by unlocking the microbiome, development of clean technologies, improving agriculture environmental performance, and Increase agro-ecosystem resilience are prime objectives for my research.
