Summary

I am a biogeochemistry enthusiast, fascinated by the microbial diversity and their interaction, participation in various biogeochemical cycles, in the various evolution of life and biodiversity on Earth. This led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Microbiology, followed by a Master's in Microbiology. A continued interest in microbial functional diversity and role in environmental chemistry led me down this research lane. I am also deeply involved in studying the role of arsenite-oxidizing bacterial assemblages in arsenic contaminated aquifers and to understand how the sedimentary organic matter that leaches into the aquifers during recharge, shapes those indigenous microbial populations.
