Biography

I am an academician and researcher specializing in mycology, fungal biotechnology, plant disease management, and myconanotechnology. I currently serve as an Assistant Professor at Mandsaur University, where I am actively engaged in teaching, research, and mentoring postgraduate students. My research integrates fungal biocontrol agents, green nanotechnology, molecular and morphological characterization, and sustainable agricultural practices. I have published research articles in Scopus-, Web of Science-, and UGC-indexed journals, edited academic books, and guided M.Sc. dissertations, with my students presenting their work at national and international conferences. I have also completed a one-year research project at IIT Delhi titled “In-silico Analysis of Glutathione Peroxidase Gene Expression under Abiotic Stress Revealing Its Role in Barley and Wheat Growth and Development.” In addition, I have been awarded the IUCYS Research Associate Fellowship.

Education

I earned my Ph.D. in Life Sciences with specialization in Mycology, Plant Pathology, and Myconanotechnology. My doctoral research focused on Chaetomium globosum–mediated green synthesis of silver and iron nanoparticles and their biocontrol efficacy against Fusarium wilt in tomato and capsicum. I also hold postgraduate and undergraduate degrees in Life Sciences/Biotechnology, which provided a strong foundation in microbiology, molecular biology, and plant–microbe interactions.
