Dr. Shubhangi Mahajan completed four years of B.Sc. (H) and two years of M.Sc. with honors in Microbial Technology at Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida, India, where she also completed her PhD. During her PhD, she studied the effects of embedded nanomaterial (zinc oxide synthesized at variable temperatures and silica nanoparticle symbiont fungus on black rice). She has also studied the effects of nanomaterials on the shelf life of cut flowers such as roses, lilies, and terrestrial orchids. Dr. Mahajan has published several original research articles in national and international journals with high impact factor.  She also has two patents pending.   

Dr. Mahajan has received a nationally competitive award "SITARE - Gandhian Young Technological Innovation Appreciation 2020" from the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council of the Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India. The project dealt with the application of nanomaterial-embedded symbionts on black rice. The award was presented by the Minister of Science and Technology, Govt. of India, Dr. Harsh Wardhan, in the presence of DBT Secretary, Dr. Renu Swaroop, and Dr. Mashelkar, former Director General of CSIR.
