Dr. Vishnu D. Rajput works as an associate professor (leading researcher) at Southern Federal University, Russia. His ongoing research is based on soil contamination, i.e., by potentially toxic elements and metallic nanoparticles, and investigating the bioaccumulation, bio/geo-transformations, uptake, translocation, and toxic effects of metallic nanoparticles on plant physiology, morphology, anatomy, and the ultrastructures of cellular and subcellular organelles, cytomorphometric modifications, and DNA damage. He has comprehensively detailed the state of research in environmental science in regard to “how nanoparticles/heavy metals interact with plants, soil, the microbial community, and the larger environment". He is an editorial board member of various high-impact journals.
