PROFILE

 I have a 17 years of experience in teaching and /or research.

 I have completed my PhD in Biotechnology (titled “Purification and characterization
of cold-active extracellular α-amylase from psychro-tolerant microorganisms and its
industrial applications”) from Integral University in 2012 after qualifying CSIR-JRF-
NET (2007) and ICAR-ARS/NET (2009).
 I published more than 40 research articles in peer-reviewed indexed journals along
with 15 book chapters and serving as an Editorial board member/reviewer of many
reputed journals.
 I have a membership of various professional bodies.
 I have received two major Research Projects, funded by DST (SERB-ECRA) of 30.81
Lakhs (on “biodegradable plastic degrading PHB depolymerase” in 2018) and CST-
UP, Lucknow (on “cold-active α-amylase” in 2013).
 I have been granted with four Patents including National and International.
 I have edited and authored several books.
  I got 1184 citations for one paper related to my project on biodegradable plastics
within just 3.5 years. I have a total of 1748 Google scholar citations with h-index: 10
and i10-index: 11 (till date).
 6 PhD students have been awarded with PhD degree under my supervision and 4 are
currently pursuing their research.
 I have attended more than 50 International/National, Conferences/ Workshops/
Seminars (+20 in online mode) and presented my research work in 45 such events
(won prizes for oral presentation).

RESEARCH INTEREST:

 My research group aimed at gathering all of the initial data related to microorganisms
(bacteria/fungi) and enzymes able to degrade biodegradable plastics (specifically PHB) that
can be used at industrial level.

 Significant effort will be devoted to demonstrating the characteristics of novel

depolymerase enzymes and their use for proper disposal of biodegradable plastics.

 Additionally, to accelerate the degradation process, a cocktail of different microbial species

will be used that can break down plastic more efficiently than individual species.

 We are also working on the production of biodegradable plastics and targeting its numerous
biotechnological and biomedical applications for the sustainable environment and
development.
