About Me:
I hold a Bachelor's degree with Honors in Zoology from Bhavan's College, where I received the Academic Excellence Award (2023–24), and I’m currently pursuing a Master's degree in Animal Biosciences at the University of Guelph. My research focuses on conducting a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) of estrus behavior traits in dairy cattle (Holstein) to enhance reproductive efficiency by identifying key genomic regions and candidate genes.
