I have extensive experience in scientific research, education, and science communication. My work focuses on how insects adapt to toxic plants, exploring feeding behaviors, toxin sequestration, physiological trade-offs, and ecological roles. I have provided valuable insights into how herbivorous insects metabolize and interact with plant-specialized metabolites, shedding light on their evolutionary strategies and ecological significance.Beyond research, I am passionate about science communication and public engagement. Through articles for general audiences, I have highlighted topics like climate justice, insect conservation, and the intricate relationships between insects and their habitats. My writing emphasizes insects' critical roles in ecosystems, showcasing their mimicry, survival strategies, and threats from climate change and human activities, inspiring conservation and sustainability efforts.I conduct workshops for high school teachers in education, introducing micro-experiments that make science lessons more interactive and engaging. I also facilitate science communication workshops for university students, teaching skills in scientific writing, presentations, and thesis preparation while supervising research projects.Through these combined efforts, I aim to advance scientific understanding, empower educators and students, and contribute meaningfully to conservation and sustainability.

Listed skills include Molecular Biology, Dissection, Research, Analytical Biochemistry, and 4 others.
