Working as a researcher can be both rewarding and challenging. On the one hand, you get to be at the forefront of scientific discovery and contribute to humanity's understanding of the natural world. On the other hand, research can be a slow and painstaking process, and you may not always see the fruits of your labour for years, if ever. My experience till date are as follows, 1. Lead researcher for BIRAC project for lake water rejuvination project for Bengaluru (ongoing)2. Lead researcher for antimicrobial resistance dissemination in Bengaluru3. Team member of Asia's biggest wastewater surveillance COVID program.4. Team Member of second proiect for Wastewater surveillancetargeting: Influenza, Monkeypox and COVID, in Bengaluru. However, this is the start of my career and I have a long way to go.
