This study integrates investigates the structural potential of two native Nepali bamboo species—Bambusa balcooa and Bambusa nutans—through geometric and mechanical characterization. The samples are analyzed for diameter, wall thickness, internode distance, and weight per unit length. Treated samples will undergo mechanical testing, and species-specific mathematical models were developed to correlate geometry with strength. The research also explores the load-resisting behavior of bamboo joints. The findings aim to support grading, design, and efficient utilization of bamboo in structural applications, contributing to sustainable and standardized bamboo construction in Nepal.

This research focus on developing sustainable, plant-based treatment alternatives to enhance the durability and performance of bamboo. Plant extracts known for their antifungal and antioxidant properties will be utilized for treatment. Bamboo samples will be treated using evaluated for chemical stability, mechanical strength, resistance to fungal degradation, and protection against UV exposure. The performance of these eco-friendly treatments will be compared with untreated and conventionally treated bamboo to assess their effectiveness. The overall goal will be to provide an environmentally responsible and cost-effective solution that supports long-term bamboo utilization in construction and material applications.

Seasoning of timber varies for different wood species and need rigorous research required to develop seasoning protocols for various species of wood – soft and hard – used as timber. The findings aim to provide scientific evidence for optimizing wood drying practices, improving structural performance, and promoting efficient utilization of timber in construction applications.

In this study, pine tar derived from pine wood offers a sustainable alternative for wood preservation for Nepal's forest products. This research will conduct chemical profiling and evaluates performance for applications in timber treatment.

Nepal's Himalayan biodiversity includes valuable aromatic plants known for essential oils rich in antimicrobial compounds. These oils show promise against skin pathogens yet their optimized use in dermal care and fragrances remains underexplored. This project will evaluate essential oil for key components, antimicrobial efficacy, and develops stable formulations for commercial skin care and perfumery applications.

Nepal's hosts a rich array of ginger varieties (Zingiber spp.), including wild species. These plants are traditionally used in Ayurvedic and folk medicine for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. This study aims to systematically investigate the major bioactive components of selected wild and cultivated ginger varieties, isolate key compounds, and evaluate their efficacy in skin care formulations

This study will evaluate the impact of extraction methods and geographic origin on the physicochemical and bio functional properties of Prinsepia utilis seed oil. Oil yield will be quantitatively determined as a percentage of the extracted oil relative to the mass of the seed powder. The fatty acid composition will be profiled and characterized using by Gas Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (GCMS/MS) and its antioxidant activity will be determined. The cardiovascular protection potential will be analyzed in silico. The study aims to find alternative healthy alternative edible oil.
