I am an accomplished academic and researcher with extensive experience across educational and consultancy roles. Currently, I serve as an Associate Professor at Subharti University, Meerut (October 2024 - present), where I also lead the Institute Innovation Council (IIC) and E-Cell, fostering innovation and entrepreneurship among students. Prior to this, I was the Dean of Science at Vinayak Vidyapeeth, Meerut (September 2023 - October 2024), where I held key positions such as Convener of the IIC, Mentor for the E-Cell, and In-Charge of the Examination Cell, NAAC, and IQAC, contributing to academic and institutional excellence.

My leadership extends to my role as Director at Opulence Life Science, Meerut (August 2021 - September 2023), where I organized training programs and workshops, supported scholarship opportunities, and provided curriculum guidance. My commitment to student development includes mentoring Ph.D. and PG students in research. Before this, I was an Assistant Professor

    A thermophilic fungal strain producing polygalacturonase was isolated after primary screening of 40 different isolates. The fungus was identified asRhizomucor pusilisby Microbial Type Culture Collection (MTCC), Chandigarh, India. An extracellular polygalacturonase (PGase) fromR. pusiliswas purified to homogeneity by two chromatographic steps using Sephadex G-200 and Sephacryl S-100. The purified enzyme was a monomer with a molecular weight of 32 kDa. The PGase was optimally active at 55°C and at pH 5.0. It was stable up to 50°C for 120 min of incubation and pH condition between 4.0 and 5.0. The stability of PGase decreases rapidly above 60°C and above pH 5.0. The apparentKmandVmaxvalues were 0.22 mg/mL and 4.34 U/mL, respectively. It was the first time that a polygalacturonase enzyme was purified in this species. It would be worthwhile to exploit this strain for polygalacturonase production. Polygalacturonase from this strain can be recommended for the commercial production because of its constitutive and less catabolically repressive nature, thermostability, wide range of pH, and lowerKmproperties. However, scale-up studies are needed for the better output for commercial production.

    Asian Journal of Plant Sciences, 2010
    Accelerated ageing test were made in five chickpea varieties viz., three desi (Pusa 256, Pusa 212 and BGD 72) and two kabuli (Pusa 267 and K551) with the objective of studying sequence and relationship of process of deterioration over short periods. All the varieties were investigated to consider whether there are cultivars differences for tolerance to ageing conditions. In the study, effect of accelerated ageing on seed viability, seedling vigour and biochemical process were explored. The overall results showed that seed quality in chickpea deteriorates following accelerated ageing treatment. All the physiological parameter viz., germination percentage, seedling root length, shoot length and consequently the vigour index in all varieties were significantly decreased. An increase in moisture content was observed during ageing. Decrease in seed viability and germination rate, vigour is also correlated with biochemical changes (decreased soluble proteins and sugar content) associated with seed ageing. The study also exhibited differential responses among varieties with respect to ageing. All the test experiments performed concluded that Pusa 256 is the best variety, followed by K 551 among all five varieties and Pusa 212 is highly sensitive variety with respect to accelerated ageing.
