Deepak’s scientific expertise spans animal nutrition, sustainable feed solutions, and the valorization of alternative bio-based resources. His research focuses on the use of alternative bioresources, such as marine macroalgae, insects, and other emerging ingredients for food, feed, and health-related applications. He has extensive experience in biochemical characterization of feed materials, in vitro rumen fermentation, and assessing how novel feed components affect key physiological processes—including nutrient digestibility, gut microbiome composition, and enteric methane emissions in ruminants. He has been involved in in vivo experiments in mice, sheep, and cows to investigate how targeted dietary interventions alter energy metabolism, gastrointestinal microbiota composition, growth performance, and transcriptomic regulation.

Deepak’s research interests center on enhancing the value of aquatic bioresources and industrial byproducts through innovative and energy-efficient processing techniques to develop sustainable products for the food, feed, and agricultural sectors. He is also interested in studying how environmental and industrial activities influence coastal ecosystems and aquatic biodiversity.
