I have been working on marine biodiversity and ecology research for several years. As part of my master's research at USM, I am working on marine viral-mediated mortality of heterotrophic prokaryotes to investigate how physio-chemical parameters influence marine microbial interactions and carbon biogeochemistry. Parallelly, I am using High Resolution Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (HR-ICP-MS) to analyze trace elements (232Th, 231Pa) in seawater samples as part of the GEOTRACES program (https://www.geotraces.org/).

The past two years of my undergraduate research were all about jellyfish at Dr. SM Sharifuzzaman's Lab. I've worked on the taxonomy of marine gelatinous zooplankton and morphometric analysis of Cnidarians from the Northern Bay of Bengal. Also, I gained hands-on experience in artificial oyster reef ecology. My ultimate research focus is on bloom events from a biogeochemical perspective and how interactions between different planktonic communities change over the predicted climate change.
