My research is focused on advancing the field of food engineering through the application of innovative technologies and methodologies to ensure food quality, safety, and efficiency in production processes. My research interests encompass several key areas:

1.Application of Nondestructive Techniques for Food Quality and Safety Analysis: I am dedicated to developing and refining nondestructive methods to assess food quality and safety. By utilizing advanced imaging, spectroscopy, hyperspectral imaging, electronic nose, electronic tongue and other sensor technologies, my work aims to provide accurate, real-time analysis of food products without compromising their integrity.

2.Development of Portable Sensors for Detection of Food Adulterants and Contaminants: My research includes the design and development of portable, cost-effective sensors capable of detecting adulterants and contaminants in food.

3.AI-integrated Food Personalization:My research focuses on leveraging AI to revolutionize food personalization, enabling tailored dietary recommendations based on individual mood, health needs, taste preference and sustainability goals.

4.Food-industry waste valorization:My research focuses on valorizing food industry waste through sustainable bioprocesses and green technologies to recover high-value bioactive compounds and functional ingredients. The goal is to transform agro-industrial by-products into resource-efficient, circular economy solutions for food, feed, and bio-based materials.

5.Storage and processing of Cereal Grains and Millets: Innovative storage and processing of cereal grains and millets to enhance their nutritional quality, functionality, and consumer acceptability. I aim to develop sustainable, technology-driven approaches for improving the shelf life, texture, and health-promoting properties of millet-based and cereal-based foods.
