In summary, I have authored and co-authored >100 research and review articles and book chapters in the areas of free radical biology, protein-structure function, oxidative folding and protein misfolding, halogen bonding and in silico drug design, agricultural impact of nanomaterials, chemical education etc for a collective citation count of 3387 and an h-index of 24 (Google Scholar; a jump of 4 units from 2019). I retain corresponding authorship of 90% of the papers I have published post-tenure. Our work has been recognized through invitations to speaking engagements in over 15 international forums and by recognition in a variety of media outlets. Currently, I serve on the Editorial Board of PLOS One (Public Library of Science). I have been invited to serve on the Editorial Board of Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics (Springer) starting 2016. I have been invited to deliver lectures at the Institute of NanoChemistry and NanoBiology of Shanghai University. This entails annually conducting a week long course on a topic of interest.
