I have developed Aghora v2.0, a field-ready photosynthesis analyzer that can measure photosynthetic light absorption dynamics and gas exchange simultaneously. This patent-pending instrument builds on my research from my PhD and a short postdoc at the University of Leeds, UK.I will be conducting experiments and trials using Aghora at Prof. Bob Muscarella's.

Conducted photosynthesis measurements in the Western Ghats field site in between lockdowns. I was also involved in deploying and managing environmental sensors, and data organisation for a NERC-funded project site led by the University of Leeds.I continue to work on photosynthetic light absorption dynamics with Prof Emanuel Gloor

EPSRC funded the Impact Acceleration Account project to develop a field-ready prototype of the technology titled 'Device for the measurement of photosynthesis' (19009). Developed and calibrated a field-ready prototype of the instrument for measuring leaf-light absorption. The prototype includes the development of a light source, optical leaf chamber with.

1) Set up a state-of-the-art trace gas analysis facility at the West Bengal project site (Birbhum district) to enable the measurement of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in rice paddies enabling the team to measure the emission reduction potential of improved water management practices. During this process, I have trained a team of 15.

We started off as a group of volunteers on Facebook creating Unicode textbook chapters in Kannada, a major Indian language for the benefit of visually challenged students. Textbooks for visually challenged students are mostly printed on paper or sometimes supplied as Braille prints. However, these take their time and are not easily accessible to all.

At Prof Christine Foyer lab, based in the School of Biosciences, I planned to study the sugar feedback limitation due to CO2 enhancement on the photosynthesis of trees in the Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiment of the Birmingham Forestry Institute (BIFOR). This project was suspended due to COVID-19.

In 2015, record temperatures were recorded across much of the Tropics, with temperatures in many tropical forests approaching or exceeding 40 °C. Such temperatures are thought to be close to threshold temperatures at which impairment of plant physiological functioning occurs. Climate change is further expected to aggravate the occurrence and intensity of.

Manage three labs and monitoring GHG flux on agricultural experimental plots in two states of South India

I took up this assignment of the consortium of NGOs, the Fair Climate Network, India, to contribute towards developing a pro-smallholder farmer sustainable agriculture pilot project to access carbon finance through implementing climate-smart, agricultural practices. During this period,a) I developed a methodology for the measurement and monitoring of.

This was my first work assignment after my master's. I joined the Centre for Sustainable Technologies, with Prof NH Ravindranath. My research training focused on understanding ecosystem functioning, resource pressures (both climate-related and non-climate), and system vulnerability. I later worked on an assessment of a village natural resource management.
