Lavanya Veerabhadrappa is doing her PhD in the estimation of soil and water available nutrients, mainly Nitrate and Phosphate by developing the cost-effective, portable, compact Smartphone-integrated imaging device under the guidance of Dr. Somsubhra Chakraborty from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur, West Bengal, India.

Her invention relates to a device for easy measurement of concentration of nitrate and phosphates. More precisely the invention provides a compact, portable, and cost-effective smartphone-based imaging device that is capable of measuring soil and water phosphate and nitrate rapidly using a solitary photograph and a developed mobile application called “SMART NP”.
