Dr. Nitin Keshari
Dr. Nitin Keshari has done his Ph.D. and Postdoc in Biotechnology. He has enjoyed being the part of many successful productive teams and institutions for international scientific programs as well as delivered many overseas lectures. He guided many students how to learn smartly and achieve academic excellence through his proper guidance. His teaching methodology centers around the emphasis on learning key concepts through strategic use of keywords. During lectures, he employs dynamic tools such as PowerPoint presentations, visuals, and informative figures to enhance the learning experience and make complex concepts engaging. This approach not only facilitates better understanding but also ensures that students find the subject matter interesting and memorable. He quickly assesses the needs of the students and is skilled in offering innovative solutions to address their challenges. He regularly demonstrates high levels of motivation and dedication while working well on his own initiatives. Besides teaching programs, he is involved in scientific research and published many international papers, filed patents and discovered many new species of cyanobacteria to contribute Science and human welfare.
His many publications, which are easily accessed online, provide enough documentation of his significant contributions to Science. A glimpse of his work includes:
1. Keshari et al. 2021. Colonization and survival of a stress tolerant cyanobacterium on a heritage monument of Santiniketan, India. International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation 164, 105294.
