I truly value my personal space and find peace in spending time with myself. I also strive to keep a calm and balanced mindset, as I believe that staying relaxed helps me think more clearly and make better decisions in life. Currently, I am pursuing my doctoral research on the topic “polysaccharide-based nanocomposite hydrogels for drug delivery applications”. My work focuses on developing advanced biomaterials that can offer controlled and efficient drug release for therapeutic use.
