user.name is undefind mongoDB

I am trying to show user names in posts who posted this on this website. I am successful in find users and also passing data to ejs temple and also getting user data by using ejs tag <%= user%> but when I call <%=user.name%> it say undefined also try to call like .username and email it's also undefined. Here is ejs code

<p>Contributed by <span><%=user.name%></span> <span><%=post.date%></span></p>
<%= console.log(user.username)%> // user.name and user.email is undefined 
<%= console.log(user)%>// user is working and show all data which is store in MongoDB

Here is MongoDB schema for the user

const userSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
        name: String ,
      email:String,
      password:String,
      profile:{data: Buffer,contentType: String}
    }

app.js route for finding data and render to posts page

app.get("/posts/:id", async (req,res) => {
  const id = req.params.id;
  const post = await Post.findOne({ _id: id });
  const comments = await Comment.find({ post: id });
  const user = await User.find({_id: post.user});/// I have store user id into post schema 

  console.log(user)// getting user data 
  console.log(post.user)// getting user id from post
  res.render('posts', {
    post: post,
    comments: comments,
    user: user
  });// successfully render data to ejs 
      
});

i have solved it by using User.findById({}) instead of User.find({})

const user = await User.findById({_id: post.user});
