About
I've always been fascinated by electroactive microbes - tiny organisms with the power to transfer electrons and drive biochemical reactions. This curiosity led me to explore the fascinating field of electro-microbiology, and biofuel cells, shaping my journey as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Aarhus University. I am currently a Novo Nordisk Foundation Postdoctoral Fellow working on the project titled "Power-to-Ammonia: Unleashing the Power of Microbes to Produce Green Ammonia using Bio-Electrochemical Hybrids." My research focuses on leveraging electroactive microbes for sustainable and green ammonia production.
With a Ph.D. from IIT Kharagpur, my work focuses on harnessing microbial electrochemical technologies to tackle environmental challenges. From developing paper-based bio-batteries to developing robust bio-electrodes for green transition, I strive to bridge microbiology and electronics for sustainable solutions. In 2018, I received the Platinum Award (along with 1 million INR funding) at the National Design and Innovation Contest (KPIT Sparkle) for a Paper Battery innovation that generates electricity from bacteria and waste, which has been a valuable experience in exploring alternative energy solutions.
I’m driven by the challenge of turning fundamental science into real-world applications—where microbes and electrons meet innovation.
