His highest impact factor journal is 9.00, which is the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, published by Elsevier. My journals have a total impact of 138, with an H-index of 18 and an i-10 index of 22. In 2013, he was awarded a "Travel Grant Award" for teachers from the University Grants Commission, New Delhi for a paper presentation in Belgium (Europe). Later, he was awarded a highly prestigious "Raman fellowship" for postdoctoral research in the United States of America for the academic year 2014-15 by the University Grants Commission in New Delhi. Furthermore, in 2013-16, he has successfully completed the UGC major project sponsored by UGC. In 2019, He has been selected for a "Summer research fellowship for teachers" sponsored by the Indian National Science Academy. In 2020, his research paper presentation was awarded a Best Paper Award, which was presented at an international conference held in Faridabad, Haryana. Other than this, he is currently working as a co-ordinator for the P.G. Department of Biotechnology, co-ordinator for Unnat Bharat Abhiyan sponsored by MHRD, New Delhi, co-ordinator for NIRF and P.G. diploma courses (under skill development programme) and also a fellow member of many professional bodies in India and abroad, also serves as an editorial board for many reputed journals.
