Student bio and project details:

I obtained the Master of Science degree in Biotechnology in 2024 from St. Xavier's College (Autonomous), Kolkata, with hands-on experience in peptide vaccine design and a deep-rooted interest in healthcare innovations and emerging technologies in the field.

Receiving the prestigious PhD offer from the IITB-Monash Research Academy was a true blessing—an opportunity to contribute my ideas and expand my knowledge. I joined the program in January 2025 where my current research focuses on designing a microfluidic platform to develop uniformly-sized microparticles with different surface chemistries—tiny innovations with big potential in healthcare!

I thrive at the intersection of creativity and science. When I am not immersed in research, you will find me painting, strumming the ukulele, cooking something new, watching movies or grooving to music!
