My journey in science began with the wonders of milk in dairy science, but my curiosity soon led me to explore the invisible world of nanotechnology. This insatiable curiosity is what drives me to research frugal science—developing innovative solutions with limited resources.
Currently, at BITS-Pilani Goa, I'm designing low-cost biosensors to monitor agricultural runoff, ensuring sustainable farming practices. But my path wasn't linear. I've engineered microbubbles for targeted drug delivery and synthesized fluorescent nanoparticles for bioimaging. These diverse experiences fuel my ability to think creatively and solve problems. My passion for science extends beyond the lab. I've mentored students, raised awareness about environmental issues, and advocated for women's education in science. I believe science should be accessible and impactful, and frugal science embodies that spirit.
