Microbiologist with a Master’s in Microbiology from Savitribai Phule Pune University, India (2021–2023). My Master’s thesis focused on plant–microbe interactions and soil microbiology, particularly on stress-tolerant bacteria that enhance plant growth. I’m deeply interested in space science, astrobiology, and microbial applications in life support systems and space agriculture. Excited to learn and contribute through both the Plant and Microbe AWG communities.
