Over-arching themes of my research interests are Food Security and Triple Burden of Malnutrition which can manifest as undernutrition and hunger, overweight and obesity, and invisible micronutrient deficiency. My research work is focused on finding practical and innovative solutions to these complex problems.

Research Interests by area:
