Prime Minister Research Fellow (PMRF)
I am currently pursing PhD in Environmental Microbiology from Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory (EBL), Centre for Rural Development and Technology, IIT DELHI. I have been awarded Prime Minister Research Fellowship for pursing my PhD research. I have also been awarded University Gold Medal and was provisionally selected for DST-INSPIRE Fellow. I have qualified CSIR-JRF, GATE, DBT-JRF and ICAR-ASRB NET. In my initial educational period, I had worked in Bio-hydrometallurgy, Biofuels, Bio-processing, Bio- catalysis, Fermentation Technology and molecular biology. Currently at EBL, my area of expertise is Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Antibiotic Resistance, Environmental Biotechnology, Enzymology, β-lactamase resistance and Bioinformatics. My PhD work mainly focus on β-lactamase mediated β-lactam antibiotic resistance phenomena from various environmental samples across the Delhi-NCR region.
