Ashish Kumar Srivastava
Dr. Ashish Kumar Srivastava is a Scientific Officer at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. His research is focussed on developing strategies for enhancing crop resilience towards different abiotic stresses. The stimulatory potential of thiourea has been demonstrated for enhancing stress tolerance and crop productivity through lab and small-scale field experiments, and by conducting multi-location field trials at salt-, drought- and arsenic-affected fields.

Dr. Ashish Kumar Srivastava is a Scientific Officer at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. His research is focussed on developing strategies for enhancing crop resilience towards different abiotic stresses. The stimulatory potential of thiourea has been demonstrated for enhancing stress tolerance and crop productivity through lab and small-scale field experiments, and by conducting multi-location field trials at salt-, drought- and arsenic-affected fields. The molecular mechanism of stress perception and tolerance has been elucidated using systems-biology based approach. He has more than 50 research and review articles and book chapters to his credit. He has been awarded Young Scientist Award of National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI), Allahabad in 2018, Young Scientist Medal from Indian National Science Academy (INSA) in 2014 and Young Scientist Award from Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) in 2014. He has also received Newton-Bhabha International Grant from DBT-BBSRC in 2018, President International Fellowship from Chinese Academy of Sciences, China in 2016 and EMBO Short term Fellowship in 2011.
