Archana (Joshi) Bachheti completed her BSc in 1997 and MSc in 1999 from HNB Garhwal University. She earned her Ph.D. from Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India, in 2006. Throughout her career, she has been actively involved in research projects and consultancy work in various areas, including ecorestoration and development of wasteland, physico-chemical properties of Jatropha curcus seed oil in relation to altitudinal variation, and serving as a consultant ecologist for a project funded by a government agency. Currently, Archana is a Professor at Graphic Era University in Dehradun, India. With an extensive experience of more than 17 years, she has served in different capacities within academia in India and has also provided expertise internationally. Her teaching portfolio includes subjects like Ecology and Environment, Environmental Science, Freshwater Ecology, Disaster Management, and Bryophytes and Pteridophytes. Archana's research interestscover a broad and interdisciplinary field of plant ecology. Her focus areas include ecorestoration, green chemistry, especially the synthesis of nanomaterials, and exploring the medicinal properties of plants. Her research has encompassed ecological amelioration of degraded lands, studying physical and chemical properties of plant oils, and delving into plant-based nanomaterials. Throughout her career, she has been actively involved in mentoring students and researchers. She guided one Ph.D. student and supervised three scholars. Additionally, she has provided guidance to graduate and undergraduate students in their research projects. Driven by her fascination with forest biodiversity, Archana has maintained a passion for exploring the values of biodiversity and how it can contribute to social upliftment. As an editor, she has contributed to six books and has published over 80 research articles in both international and national journals. She has also authored sixteen book chapters.
