Short bio

Dr. Md Salman Haydar is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy, working on a European Union (EU) funded multi-institutional collaborative project focused on nanoparticles-based circular economy.

He earned his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the Department of Botany, University of North Bengal, India. His Ph.D. research centered on agricultural nanotechnology, plant physiology, and biochemistry, with a specific emphasis on developing and applying nanofertilizers to enhance crop growth and stress tolerance. His expertise lies in agricultural nanotechnology, nano-bio interactions, and the investigation of morpho-physiochemical and molecular pathways in plants and microorganisms in response to nanoparticle applications. His research focuses on developing innovative nanofertilizers to promote sustainable agriculture, ensuring efficient, eco-friendly, and resilient food production.

Dr. Haydar has an extensive publication record, with 28 research articles (h-index: 11) in reputed peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), American Chemical Society (ACS), Springer, and Elsevier, reflecting the impact of his contributions. Additionally, one patent applications have been filed for nanofertilizers he has developed.

He has also made significant scholarly contributions as a reviewer for 50 research papers in prestigious journals from Nature Portfolio, Springer Nature, Elsevier, and Taylor & Francis. His research excellence has been recognized with the Best Presentation Award at the Regional Science Congress, India.
