Shashi Bhushan

About

I am a bioengineer with a PhD in Environmental and Conservation Sciences from North Dakota State University (NDSU), where I conducted research on biological wastewater treatment and energy generation from solid waste. I have published multiple papers and a patent on my work, and I have presented my findings at national and international conferences.

In addition to my research, I have also gained teaching and mentoring experience as a Career Mentor at NDSU and an Instructor of Biology at Mayville State University. I have taught courses on microbiology, biotechnology, and molecular biology, and I have helped students with their academic and career goals. I have also worked as a Junior Research Fellow at various institutions in India, where I explored topics such as endosulfan toxicity, nucleic acid purification, and recombinant DNA technology.

I am passionate about applying my bioengineering skills and knowledge to address environmental and health challenges, and I am eager to collaborate with other researchers and professionals in the field. I am available to work and actively looking for positions in academia or industry that match my interests and qualifications.
