Additional Details
I am passionate about advancing sustainable food production systems that promote health, food security, and environmental resilience.
My work bridges the gap between traditional plant resources and modern food science, focusing on the extraction, characterization, and application of bioactive compounds from native plants to develop functional foods that support human nutrition and well-being.
With a strong foundation in food safety, postharvest management, and natural product utilization, I am driven by the vision of creating value-added, eco-friendly food innovations that reduce waste, enhance nutritional quality, and contribute to a more sustainable food future.
