Rabin Duwal
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Chemical Engineering
College of Engineering and Information Technology
I began my research journey as an intern at the Research Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology (RIBB), Nepal where I gained hands-on experience in applied bioscience research. I completed Master of Biotechnology (Biomedical) (Advanced) at the University of Adelaide in 2024. During the second year of my master’s degree, I did a thesis project in “Cold plasma processing of grains project” at the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine. Currently, I am a PhD student at the School of Chemical Engineering, with research interests that span cold plasma technology, compound extraction, and flow chemistry, all with a focus on real-world impact. Apart from my academics and research, I love playing soccer.
