Current/Recent Research
My current research operates at the interface of microbial biotechnology, environmental sustainability, microbial genomics and One Health, leveraging microbial diversity and function to address challenges in environmental quality, sustainable agriculture, renewable bioresources and human health. Key research areas include microbial genomics and metagenomics; environmental bioremediation and climate resilience; anaerobic digestion, waste valorisation and circular bioeconomy; plant–microbe interactions and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi for sustainable crop production; and microbial and natural-product bioprospecting. My work also encompasses antimicrobial resistance, pathogen genomics and molecular surveillance, integrating molecular biology, bioinformatics and microbial ecology to generate locally relevant and globally applicable solutions for environmental sustainability, food security and public health.
