The available profile lists nine documents published between 2016 and 2026, covering plant chemistry, nutritional composition, adsorption materials, and pharmacological research. The publications demonstrate a multidisciplinary research profile spanning natural products, analytical chemistry, and pharmaceutical-related investigations. [1] Several of the listed studies have identifiable DOI records, providing persistent links for independent access to the corresponding scholarly publications.

Research Impact

The available Google Scholar record reports 251 citations and an h-index of 4, indicating that the documented publications have received measurable scholarly attention. [1] The profile also records an i10-index of 2. Her highly cited work on soybean composition demonstrates substantial visibility within the listed record, while her more recent work on Spilanthes filicaulis extends the research portfolio toward antimicrobial activity, phytochemical profiling and computational analysis[3]

Award Suitability

The documented combination of publication activity, citation impact and interdisciplinary chemistry research provides a reasonable academic basis for consideration for a Best Researcher Award. Her work connects organic and natural-product chemistry with phytochemical characterization, plant bio-assay, analytical investigation and research relevant to pharmaceutical discovery. The 2026 study integrating antimicrobial assays, phytochemical profiling and in-silico analysis further demonstrates a contemporary research direction that links natural products with potential drug-development investigations. [3]
