Plant Stress Biology
A Bit About Me
I received my Ph.D. degree in Botany from the University of Calcutta. In April 2024, I started my post-doc research.
I am interested in understanding the role of small regulatory molecules in establishing thermopriming
mediated heat stress memory in rice. My research is supported by DST-SERB.
In my free time I mostly listen to music and watch Netflix. I also like to travel for wildlife photography.
