About
I am a UKRI Principal Investigator and a former Marie Skłodowska-Curie UKRI Postdoctoral Fellow at Imperial College London, working on arsenic and nitrogen dynamics in soil microbes, their molecular expressions with root phenology, and their effects on crop plants with subsequent qualitative and quantitative assessment. I study arsenic-resistant microbes with a focus on plant-microbial interactions for sustainable management. Microbial diversity analysis by Metagenomics, high-throughput sequencing and gene expression studies are frequent. I am also a European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) and Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) Visiting Scientist at Eawag, Switzerland and Zalf, Germany.
I am a Associate Editor in Frontiers in Microbiology (Terrestrial Microbiology Section) and Frontiers in Plant Science (Plant Abiotic Stress Section) and a guest editor in multiple Frontiers, Wiley and MDPI journals and an active Reviewer in 75+ peer-reviewed journals under Nature Publishing Group, Springer-Nature, Elsevier, Frontiers, BMC, MDPI, Taylor & Francis, ACS, RSC and Wiley. I am a life member of an international science community (International Society for Environmental Botanists and Indian Science Congress) and a regular member of several other science bodies (American Geophysical Union, European Association of Geochemistry, European Geophysical Union, International Society of Microbial Ecology (ISME), Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS), Microbiology Society, Royal Society of Biology (MRSB), and Royal Society of Chemistry (AMRSC).
