Rakesh Kumar Bachheti graduated from Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna University, Garhwal, India, in 1996. He completed his MSc in Organic Chemistry from the same university in 1998. Later, in 2001, he underwent a one-year Post Graduate Diploma in Pulp and Paper Technology from Forest Research Institute, Dehradun, India. Subsequently, he pursued his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from Kumaun University, Nainital, India, which he obtained in 2007. Bachheti has a total research and teaching experience of 20 Years. Before joining Addis Ababa Science and Technology University (AASTU) in Ethiopia, he worked as Dean of Project (Assistant) at Graphic Era University in Dehradun, India. It's worth noting that Graphic Era University is accredited with an 'A+' grade by the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). Bachheti is also a Research Fellow at INTI International University Persiaran Perdana BBN, Putra Nilai, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, and Adjunct Faculty at the Department of Allied Sciences, Graphic Era Hill University, Dehradun, India. Bachheti has an impressive research background and has presented papers at various international (Malaysia, Thailand, and India) and national conferences. He has also been an active member of important committees like the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) and the Anti-ragging Committee. His research interests primarily focus on natural products for industrial applications, biofuels and bioenergy, green synthesis of nanoparticles and their applications, and pulp and paper technology. His passion for natural products is evident in all of his research endeavors. As an academic mentor, Bachheti has successfully advised 40 MSc and 6 Ph.D. students to completion. Additionally, numerous undergraduates have conducted research in his laboratory under his guidance. He actively contributes to curriculum development for BSc/MSc/Ph.D. programs.
