Tariq Aftab, PhD, is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Botany at Aligarh Muslim University, India, where he earned his PhD. He is the recipient of a prestigious Leibniz-DAAD fellowship from Germany, a Raman Fellowship from the Government of India, and a Young Scientist Award from the State Government of Uttar Pradesh (India) and Government of India. After completing his doctorate, he worked as Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi, and as Postdoctorate Fellow at Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi, India. Dr. Aftab was also a visiting scientist at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK), Gatersleben, Germany, and in the Department of Plant Biology, Michigan State University, USA. He is a member of various scientific associations in India and abroad. He has edited over 11 books with international publishers, co-authored several book chapters, and published over 60 research papers in peer-reviewed international journals. His research interests include physiological, proteomic, and molecular studies on medicinal and aromatic plants.
