She has done her graduation and post graduation in the subject of Zoology from University of Delhi and PhD in Biotechnology from CSIR-Institute of Genomics and Integrative Biology (IGIB). She has a teaching experience of over 7 years in Lifesciences/Zoology field. Her research area of interest is Microbial biotechnology for generation of bio-products utilizing biological wastes as cheap renewable resources e.g. biopolymers (polyhydroxyalkanoates; PHA), biofuel etc. She has been working in this area for biopolymer and biofuel production since 2006 in her PhD tenure, short term projects in her workplace, one minor project. Currently she is conducting one major project in same research area. Apart from this she has also been working for application of in silico tools and Petri Net for analysis and modelling in Biotechnology e.g., bacteria identification for selected bioproduct/process, studying microbial metabolism, drug resistance pathway modelling and analysis, bioprocess designing etc. For her significant work in this field, she has also been selected for young scientist award-2018 by National Environment Science Academy (NESA).
