I had my PhD (Plant Physiology) from Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi and joined Agricultural Research Service in January 2004. Currently, I am working at Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture, Lucknow as Senior Scientist (Plant Physiology). Apart from my plant physiology, I have interests in FOSS, BiOS and Open Access. I am now Joint Secretary, ARSSF and Convener, Open Access. Recently I have been nominated as YPARD India representative.
