I aim to establish a research group in agricultural extension, technology transfer, market and impact research, gender, and rural livelihoods, with a focus on Himalayan bioresources and IHBT technologies and their industrial, societal, and farmer-level impacts. Open to mentoring Ph.D. scholars and hosting postdoctoral fellows working in these areas.
