I received my doctoral degree in Plant Sciences from the University of Hyderabad, India, followed by postdoctoral research at the University of Delhi. I subsequently worked as a Visiting Scientist at the Agricultural Research Organization – Volcani Center, Israel, where I conducted research for more than five years on biochar–plant–soil interactions and sustainable agricultural systems. I also worked with Standard Bio AS and TilapiaGroup AS, Norway, contributing to the development of biochar-based products derived from waste streams using circular and sustainable approaches. Later, I served as a researcher at the University of Tuscia, Italy, within the Department for Innovation in Biological, Agri-food and Forestry Systems, engaging in interdisciplinary research in agriculture and environmental sciences. Currently, I work as Head of Research at CaptureBank AS, Norway. My research focuses on biochar and biochar-based fertilizers, soil–plant–environment interactions, remediation of contaminated soils, and recovery of trace heavy metals. My broader interests include soil fertility, carbon sequestration, sustainable crop production, and plant physiological and biochemical responses to abiotic stresses using carbon-negative and resource-circular technologies.
