I completed my DVM degree from Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU). During my DVM study, I worked as a research assistant in the Faculty of Veterinary Science, BAU, where I got interested in research. In the meantime, I did an internship with Dr. Woo Kyun Kim (University of Georgia), where I worked on poultry nutrition which piqued my interest further in this field.
I believe that hard work and proper guidance will help me achieve my objectives and found Dr. Jha’s lab to quench my thirst for knowledge and do impactful research. I completed my MS in Animal Sciences degree with a research focus on evaluating microalgae and enzyme for their effects on growth performance and gut health of broiler chickens. Now, I am working on my PhD in Nutrition with continued focus on Poultry Nutrition and Gut health.
I completed my BS in Animal Science from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in the spring of 2025. As an undergraduate, I worked in Dr. Jha's lab, which sparked my research interest. During my undergrad, my passion for animal nutrition grew as I learned more in classes and on my own. I am currently pursuing an MS in Animal Sciences, with a research focus on nutrition and gut health.
Hello! I am currently studying for my Bachelor’s in Animal Science. In 2025, I graduated from Wai‘anae High School. During the summer of 2025, I worked in Dr. Jha’s lab as a CTAHR SRI fellow. I evaluated the nutritional values of animal feed. The guidance from Dr. Jha and his team further deepened my interest in animal nutrition research. I aim to investigate sustainable feed options that benefit both livestock and human health. After I graduate, my goal is to become a wildlife veterinarian who works in local conservation.
