Research Interest

He studied the effect of silica and silica nanoparticles (SiNps) against the a-biotic stresses on physiological and biochemical responses such as photosynthesis, nutrient uptake of crop plants to stress factors and the synchronized detoxification of harmful reactive oxygen species by their antioxidant defense mechanisms. He has done excellent work on Laser Induced breakdown spectroscopy which in one of the most reliable, quick and eco-friendly technique. He also studied the Green synthesis of nanoparticles through spectroscopy; plant extracts etc and tests their responses on the plant metabolic systems. He is also working on the regulation of genes under the metal and metal nanoparticles.
