I was born and raised in the picturesque landscapes of Nepal, where my deep-rooted connection to agriculture first took hold. My journey in the realm of agricultural sciences began with the pursuit of a B.S. degree from Tribhuvan University, Nepal, where I gained a foundation in the field. During this time, I had the privilege of working as an intern for CIMMYT, an experience that exposed me to the world of soil and crop scientists. It was here that I found my passion for agronomical research, focusing on sustainable and low-input management solutions to enhance the resilience of cropping systems. 

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to make a positive impact, I furthered my academic journey by pursuing an M.S. degree in Soil Science at North Dakota State University. Throughout my academic endeavors, I've strived to bridge the gap between science and practical solutions to address the pressing challenges in production agriculture. 

Beyond my academic pursuits, I'm an avid traveler with an insatiable curiosity to explore new places and cultures. I'm also a devoted foodie who believes that the true joy of traveling lies not only in the destination but also in the voyage itself. Aspiring to be an explorer in both my academic and personal life, I am dedicated to advancing agricultural practices and sharing the wonders of the world with others. 

My current research involves studying the impact of different manure management techniques on nitrogen cycling and greenhouse gas emissions in dairy cropping systems. I'm applying 4R's principles of nutrient management (which is Right Source at Right Rate at Right Time at Right Place) to reduce ammonia volatilization loss, and greenhouse gas emissions (especially nitrous oxide emissions) after manure application, while also minimizing all other environmental impacts associated with field manure application. My ultimate goal is to help farmers improve their nutrient management practices and reduce environmental impacts while maintaining profitability. 

Apart from research, I also enjoy teaching and mentoring undergraduate students in the classroom and in the field. I believe in hands-on learning and encourage students to get involved in research projects to gain practical experience. 

I am actively involved in outreach activities to promote sustainable agriculture practices and educate the public about the importance of agriculture. I have participated in several events such as field days, workshops, and webinars to share my research findings and interact with stakeholders.
