About

I am a postgraduate student in Nutrition Biology at the Central University of Haryana with a strong academic foundation in Life Sciences (B.Sc. in Zoology, Botany & Geology – IGNOU). Passionate about ensuring food quality and safety, I am developing expertise in toxicology, microbiology, and nutritional biochemistry. My training includes hands-on experience with microbial culturing, spectroscopy, PCR, and dietary assessment, complemented by certification in Food Microbiology and Food Safety (SWAYAM). I am particularly interested in the application of AI and bioinformatics in food innovation and analysis — integrating science and technology to make nutrition safer, smarter, and more sustainable. I aim to begin my professional journey in food testing laboratories, quality assurance, or R&D departments, where I can contribute to product safety, compliance, and evidence-based nutrition improvement. 🌿 Reliable, analytical, and eager to apply scientific knowledge to ensure safe and nutritious food for all.
