With a rich teaching experience of 16 years in higher education, I have hands-on experience in handling classes including BA, BSc, BCom, BCA, BBA, Add-On and Vocational Courses. I am adept and skilful in effective and comprehensive teaching in diverse subjects and streams like Environment Education, Ecology, Environment Auditing, Risk Management, Environment Conservation.
Research has been the most important component of my academic career. Commitment to work, passion for scientific processes and appreciation of social implications made the course of research completely fulfilling. As an avid researcher, I worked on the contentious issue of GM Crops with an intent of understanding the efficacy of agri-biotechnology in solving the persisting food problems of the world. The research has been published in diverse and quality journals. The work has been represented at many national and international fora, receiving healthy criticism and accolades.

  • Emerging aluminium nitride nanoparticles: chemical synthesis and exploration of their biocompatibility and anticancer activity against cervical cancer cells

    Objective(s): Aluminium nitride (AlN) could be used in implantable biomedical sensor devices, for which cytotoxicity analysis is of utmost importance. Materials and Methods: AlN nanoparticles were synthesized using a simple and effective solvothermal method. The X-ray diffraction results revealed the cubic phase of AlN, and the field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis demonstrated the structural morphology of the synthesized materials. In addition, the cytotoxicity of the AlN nanoparticles was assessed against healthy (HEK-293, HUVEC, and MCF10A) and cancerous cell line (HeLa). The intensity of the reactive oxygen species was also measured to determine the induced oxidative stress in the treated cells. Results: The cytotoxicity analysis indicated that the AlN nanoparticles were nontoxic against the cancerous and normal cell lines. No significant changes were observed between the low doses of the AlN nanoparticles in the treated and control cells. However, morphological changes were detected by a phase contrast microscope, while insignificant changes were observed similar to the control cells. Conclusion: The findings of this study could lay the groundwork for the development of AlN nanoparticles for further biomedical applications.

    Abstract In this paper we analyze analog CATV transmission system where only one wavelength is used for transmission on which multiple analog RF channels modulated. We analyze different modulation distortions such as composite second order (CSO), composite triple beat (CTB) and intermodulation distortions at different frequencies. Good performance of CSO > −36 dBc and CTB > −41 dBc are obtained at 62.5 MHz, 125 MHz and 187.5 MHz in three tone directly modulated CATV transmission system.
