Nirajan Piya
I am a master’s student in the Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department and come from the capital city of Nepal – Kathmandu. I completed my undergraduate study in Mechanical Engineering from Kathmandu University in 2016 and then worked as a Project & EHS Manager for one of the largest agro-based industry in Nepal for more than 5 years. My work has included working closely with the farmers and other stakeholders in planning and implementing various projects pertaining to agricultural mechanization, sustainable agriculture, evaluating new facilities for food processing and worker’s health and safety. Now, I am working in developing, integrating, and testing precision spraying systems in the robotics platform as well as designing and testing systems for proper spraying of Bio-degradable mulch in agricultural field. I enjoy playing football and cricket, travelling, hiking, and listening to soft music.
