Prof Ashwani Mathur

BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Ashwani Mathur has been working at Department of Biotechnology, JIIT since December 2010. Before joining JIIT, Dr. Ashwani Mathur worked for 18 months as Senior Lecturer at Department of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics at JUIT, Waknaghat, Dist. Solan, Himachal Pradesh. He has done his masters (M.Sc) in Biotechnology from Panjab University, Chandigarh in 2002, and was university rank holder. He completed his PhD from Department of Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology, IIT Delhi in 2009. He had qualified CSIR JRF and GATE exams in 2002 and availed CSIR fellowship from MHRD during his PhD. He has also done post graduate diploma in business administration (PGDBA) from IMT Ghaziabad.

In past, Dr. Ashwani Mathur had worked as Scientist for Panacea Biotec Ltd., Delhi and Avesthagen Ltd., Bangalore. He has been associated with academia as a faculty for NSIT (formerly DIT, Delhi University), Dwarka and Manav Rachana International University (Formerly CITM), Faridabad. His core area of research includes process optimization for production of different primary and secondary metabolites. He has prior experience of handling microbial, algal, plant and mammalian cells in bioreactor.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS

The research is focused toward exploring the role of bioprocess parameters in improving the yield of primary and secondary metabolites. We use various analytical and statistical tools to explore and optimize culture conditions for enhanced production of metabolites. Studies on optimization of culture conditions have been performed with various prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems including cellulose production from Acetobactor sp., saponin production from Bacopa monnieri.  Moreover, studies exploring the role of biopolymer based electrospun membranes as a suitable alternative to chemical membranes in Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs) have also been explored. Currently on-going studies are focused towards development of biosensors for environmental pollutants. Also, the optimization of hydroponic conditions for cultivation of medicinal plant Bacopamonnieri, are in progress.
