His Hirsch index (h-index) is 25 on Google Scholar, 21 on Scopus. He served as a subject expert for many international committees and is also an editorial board member and reviewer of reputed journals. He has edited special issues in many journals including Journal of Environmental Science and Health Part A Toxic/Hazardous Substances and Environmental Engineering (Taylor & Francis), Environmental Science and Pollution Research (Springer Nature). He has conducted several research projects and received young scientist awards. Dr. Kavindra Kumar Kesari is currently working as Senior Scientist in the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems, School of Chemical Engineering at the Aalto University, Espoo, Finland. He obtained Doctoral, Master, and Bachelor degrees in Biotechnology from India. He received Junior and Senior Research fellowships during his Doctoral studies at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. He served as an Assistant Professor position at Jaipur National University, Jaipur, India. He obtained his first Postdoctoral research from University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland. Currently, he is working on cell ultrastructure study with micro & macro spectroscopic techniques. His work mainly aimed to explore the fundamentals of cell wall ultrastructure of woody & non-woody materials and their applications in biomedical research. His study also explores the medicinal applications of plant derived bioactive compounds and nanoparticles for disease treatment. Kesariis actively involved working in cell and cancer biology research with focus on qualitative and quantitative measurements by applying in vitro, in vivo & biocomputational methods. He is leading researcher of radiation biology. He has developed various methods for animal exposure to radiations and therapeutic measures including brain and reproductive related diseases. Kesari, actively working on the neurological diseases with focus on environmental toxicology and oxidative stress. He has published over 100 papers in reputed scientific journals, 30 book chapters, 6 books and presented over 30 papers at national and international scientific meetings. His Hirsch index (h-index) is 31 on Google Scholar, 26 on Scopus. Kesari served as subject expert for many international committees and also as editorial board member and reviewer in journals of repute. He has edited special issues in many journals like, Antioxidants and Genes (MDPI) and ESPR (Springer). Kesari has conducted several researchprojects and guided doctoral students.
