With a background in veterinary medicine, I am focused on microbial genomics, metagenomics, and antimicrobial resistance, combining wet-lab experience with computational analysis to address research questions in animal and microbial health.
I am currently a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) student at Gazipur Agricultural University (GAU). My academic journey has fueled a deep interest in advanced genomic technologies and their application in animal health and agriculture.
I aim to advance my expertise in NGS-based microbiome analysis, whole-genome sequencing, and computational genomics. I am particularly passionate about understanding microbial communities in the context of agricultural sustainability, animal health, and the critical challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
