🔙 Throwback to my PhD days
Back in 2022, during my time in plant science research, published this review in Heliyon (Elsevier) on how silica nanoparticles (SiNPs)- made sustainably from agricultural waste like rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, and corn cob-can transform crop protection and plant growth.
Revisiting it today, it's a reminder of where my scientific journey began 🌱
🔹 Waste to value — converting farm residues into functional nanomaterials
🔹 Multi-functional — SiNPs work as nanofertilizers, nanopesticides, nanoherbicides, and disease-defense agents
🔹 Stress resilience — helping crops withstand drought, salinity, heavy metals, and UV stress
🔹 Non-toxic and eco-friendly — a genuinely sustainable alternative to chemical agri-inputs
Looking back, this work laid the foundation for how I think about problem-solving today- translating deep science into practical, scalable solutions. That same lens is what drives me now as I move into product and innovation roles in the health-tech and biotech space.
