Academic Credentials

  • B.F.Sc.
  • M.F.Sc.(Fish Processing Technology)
  • Ph.D.(Fish Processing Technology)

Teaching and Other Appointments

  • I am teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses related to Fish Processing Technology, including Freezing Technology, Fish Packaging Technology, Refrigeration and Equipment Engineering, Food Chemistry, Quality Assurance of Fish and Fishery Products, and Techniques in Microbiology.
    Also, I am serving as:
  • In-charge, Fish Processing Laboratory, College of Fisheries
  • In-charge, College exhibitions, academic functions, and official visits

Area of Research Interests

  • My research interests focus on understanding and improving the safety, quality, and value of fish and fishery products through innovative processing and preservation techniques. My research has identified the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in Indian major carps from the northeastern region of India, indicating emerging public health concerns. I have also investigated the impact of traditional and modern drying processes on the nutritional quality of fish,  including changes in proteome, fatty acid profile, vitamins, and mineral composition. Currently, my research emphasizes the development of value-added fish products and efficient utilization of fish processing waste for sustainable food and non-food applications. These efforts aim to enhance food security, improve public health outcomes, and promote circular economy approaches within the fisheries and aquaculture sector.
