Padmaja Rai

About

I am Padmaja Rai born and raised in Prayagraj in India. Completed my Master’s degree from Allahabad Institute of Agriculture (SHUATS) and secured CGPA- 9.73 (Silver medallist). Currently enrolled and pursuing as a doctoral researcher in the Department of Biotechnology, of MNNIT, Allahabad Prayagraj, India. I am having rich, collaborative and independent research experience in the field of nanoparticles-plant- abiotic stress management. During extensive research work, I realized that a research career in NPs-plant interactions can be an interesting and path-breaking research arena for interdisciplinary and grassroots-level research. Apart from that, I have published my research outputs in many research articles and outputs in renowned journals like the Journal of Hazardous Materials, Environmental Pollution, Plant and cell physiology, Plant physiology and biochemistry and Journal of Experimental Botany etc. As a long-term career goal wish to realize my research potential and to deliver research output for the larger goal of society and inculcate innovative thinking and approach in research.
