“Good Food for Better Life”, were the words I used to hear frequently from my father. I used
to wonder, what really is a ‘good food’? How does a good food provide a better life? My interest and
curiosity accrued day by day. As goes the maxim, “First say to yourself what be; and then do what you
have to do”, by EPICTEUS, so did I. I took up Food Process Engineering at Tamilnadu Agricultural
University, one of the best agricultural universities in India.
Academic Background
Research Interests
Food quality is important from the food safety viewpoint of undesirable characteristics which
might include unnatural contaminants such as foreign material or “naturally-occurring” characteristics
such as pathogens. The cost and regulatory aspects of labor combined with consumer demand for food
quality and safety makes this an important global need. For the manifestation of our inner desire into
concrete realities, there is no better way than working with indefatigable spirit towards our goal. My
purpose in pursuing a graduate degree in Food Science is to learn, gain expertise in the field and
upgrade my knowledge about food that aids in my future research activities in the pursuit of satisfying
the global needs.
There is serious and pressing need for the elimination of bacterial contamination in food,
notably in the food processing industry. Much of the morbidity and mortality can be prevented with
more safer methods of food handling. While food safety deals with this aspect, preservation helps
making a food available at any place and at any time, irrespective of the season. Hence for this reason I
would like to pursue my research on ‘Food Preservation and Safety’.
Other Interests
This is a world of 'third wave' called the electronic reduction and computers. In order to move
with the current world, I learnt UNIX, C, C++ in a leading institution called SSI Limited and secured
good grades. I also have an unquenchable thirst to participate in games and youth festivals. The
certificates and the medals may speak my varied interests.
My Aspirations
I am very eager to pursue my higher studies in Food Science at your esteemed University,
which has the right environment and research facilities, under the mentorship of your experienced and
well qualified faculty. I am sure that I will fit in with your idea of a promising graduate student. Any
financial aid would of great help to me. With the degree from your institution I will be able to fulfill my
career ambition of a researcher and a teacher in the field of Food Science.
