Integrative Data Analysis in Biological Sciences

I completed my doctoral research in the area of integrative computational analysis for Meta-genomics at the Ulster University, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom on a Research Fund Horizon 2020 scholarship granted by the Ulster University. I rounded off my academic journey further by getting funding from the Marie Curie fellowship under the Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) Scheme for the Meta-plat project, which focused on analyzing microbial genomes for improving the nutritive value and cattle productivity in European boundaries under European Horizon Commission 2020. I actively participated in joint research, secondment, and innovation activities between the member organizations of the project in the U.K. and Ireland. I also participated in research development activities at Ulster University, United Kingdom. 

Also, I mentored a Summer Internship Projects conducted by the Center for Research, Maitreyi College - 

  • Emerging Technologies and Creator Economy: A New Linkage for Creative and Sustainable Growth, 2023
  • An Integrative ApproachTowards Recommending Farming Solutions for Sustainable Agriculture, 2022
