About

Soil science enthusiast with a special interest in the interaction of arsenic, silicon, and rice. Other fields of interest are soil fertility, soil pollution (heavy metal contamination and remediation) and soil health with reference to the soil-plant-atmosphere-human continuum.
Currently working on upkeeping soil and plant health, concurrent biotic and abiotic stresses, classification of biotic stresses of plants using hyperspectral remote sensing and machine learning.
