Researcher. Writer.

Currently a PostDoc in the Oregon State University. My research focus is understanding plant-pathogen interaction using molecular and computational tools.


As a science-communicator, I write in Bengali language, first-language of 200+ million people in the world.

A passion for Biology

Since my undergrad, I have done and published research in diverse systems: using silkworm to test pathogens, studying spread of a virus of cattle, symbiosis of plant and rhizobia, and now molecular epidemiology of a plant-pathogen.

Computational Biology

I use bioinformatics, statistics, and programming in Python/R/Unix to analyze complex biological questions.

Wet-Lab

I’m continuously learning and applying techniques from bench: molecular biology, microbiology, growing plants in greenhouse, as well as field-work.

Teaching

Long time teaching experiences as TA at UC Riverside and as a Lecturer in NSTU in courses including Introduction to Genetics and Introduction to Evolution.

Collaboration

Actively collaborating with researchers in similar fields worldwide.

Mentoring

I have trained multiple undergrads during Ph.D. (also got trained by undergrads during postdoc!)

Science Outreach

When I get opportunity, I take part in science outreach program with school-students as well as be a judge in science fair.

Science Communication

I write on biological science for public in Bengali language.
