Nutrition-Sensitive Aquaculture & Food Security

Pioneering nutrition research, we've developed innovative fish and seaweed powders to combat malnutrition and improve women's health.

Feed & Farming Innovations

Developed and assessed novel, cost-effective aquaculture feeds for mud crabs and fish through major national and international research grants (e.g., BAS-USDA, EU-FP7, MoST).

Blue Economy & Marine Resource Diversification

Led projects enhancing the aquaculture value chain, from novel species assessment to post-harvest utilization and hatchery scaling.

Women Empowerment & Adolescent Health

Championed women's empowerment by linking their roles in aquaculture value chains to improved household and adolescent nutrition.

International Collaboration & Capacity Building

Secured multi-country research funding from prestigious institutions and coordinated collaborative projects to improve food systems and sustainable aquaculture trade.

Policy-Relevant Research & Technology Transfer

Conducted research on emerging aquaculture technologies, evaluated food safety risks, and led early studies on seasonal floodplain aquaculture, informing national policy.
