About me

I am a lecturer and an environmental toxicologist interested in plant-endophytes interactions, bioenergy systems, microbial biodiversity and bioremediation.

Biotechnology researcher with expertise in environmental toxicology, microbial biotechnology, bioremediation, plant–microbe interactions, and molecular biotechnology. Completed a PhD in Environmental Biotechnology with a perfect CGPA (5.00/5.00). Experienced in laboratory and field-based research, microbial isolation and characterization, molecular biology techniques, scientific writing, and undergraduate teaching. My long-term research interest is the application of microorganisms for sustainable bioenergy production, waste valorization, anaerobic digestion, and circular bioeconomy.
