Before joining AASTU, Rakesh was working as Dean Project (Assistant) at Graphic Era University (A grade university by NACC) in Dehradun, India. Rakesh also presented papers at various international (Malaysia, Thailand, and India) and national conferences. He was also Member of various important committees, such as the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), anti-ragging committee. His major research interests include natural products for Industrial application, biofuel and bioenergy, green synthesis of nanoparticles, their application, and Pulp and paper technology. He retains a fundamental love for natural products, which permeates all of his research. He has also successfully advised 30 M.Sc. and 3 Ph.D. students tocompletion, and countless undergraduates have researched in his laboratory. Bachheti is actively involved in curriculum development for B.Sc./M.Sc./Ph.D. programs. Bachheti is Editor of 4 books and 80 publications, dealing with various aspects of natural product chemistry and nanotechnology and has twenty book chapters published by Springer, Elsevier, and Nova Publisher. Presently, he is supervising 5 Ph.D. students and works on two research projects funded by Addis Ababa Science and Technology University, Ethiopia. Archana Bachheti is currently Professor at Graphic Era University, Dehradun, India. She has also served in many capacities in academia within India and provided expertise internationally for more than 15 years. She taught Ecology and Environment, Environmental Science, Freshwater Ecology, Disaster Management, and Bryophytes and Pteridophytes. Her major research interests encompass the broad, interdisciplinary field of plant ecology, focusing on ecorestoration, green chemistry, especially the synthesis of nanomaterial, and medicinal properties of plants. The breadth of her research spans from degraded land ecological amelioration and physical and chemical properties of plant oil to plant-based nanomaterial. She guided one Ph.D. student, supervised three scholars, and guided graduate and undergraduate students with their research projects. While the fascination with forest biodiversity captured her interest, it has been her love for the exploration of values of biodiversity and social upliftment through it that has maintained that passion. Bachheti’s is Editor of 4 books and has published over 60 research articles in international and national journals and sixteen book chapters.
