I work at the intersection of plant chemistry and applied technology — extracting and analysing phytochemical compounds in the lab, and building sensor-driven systems on the bench. Currently focused on herbal drug analysis, extraction science, and the tools that support both.
Shyam Babu is pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Phytopharmaceuticals at Centurion University of Technology and Management, Paralakhemundi, Odisha. His work centres on extracting and characterising natural compounds from medicinal plants, using techniques spanning solvent extraction to supercritical fluid CO₂ extraction.
Alongside his core scientific training, he applies technology as a working tool — from sensor-based systems for traffic safety to machine learning fundamentals in Python — treating instrumentation and code as extensions of the same investigative process.
He completed a summer internship at Emami Ltd, gaining hands-on exposure to quality control and manufacturing processes for tablets and capsules.
Hands-on exposure to analytical and extraction methods used in food testing and phytochemical research.
Exposure to proximate analysis of food samples.
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) using CO₂ is a technique where carbon dioxide, above its critical temperature and pressure, is used to extract active compounds — applied here to ginger.
Open to internships, research collaborations, and technical projects at the edge of phytopharmaceuticals and technology.
