Environmental Ecology and Field Biology: Applied Aspects

Vartika Mathur (27 August 1979, New Delhi, India) is an assistant professor in the Department of Zoology, Sri Venkateswara College, University of Delhi. Dr. Mathur was the only Indian to have received the prestigious NFP fellowship in 2008 from Nuffic - an organization in partnership with Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (Netherlands) and Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This fellowship enabled her to pursue a PhD in Wageningen University and Research Centre, the Netherlands, under the supervision of Professors Louise Vet and Nicole van Dam. She worked in the Netherlands and India for four years and was awarded a PhD in 2012. Dr. Mathur was awarded the European Mobility grant for International Laureates by the International Doctoral College of the European University of Brittany (CDI-UEB) in 2010 to perform research in University of Rennes, France. She has been awarded the "Young scientist of the year award 2015" in the field of chemical ecology by the International Foundation of Environment and Ecology. Dr. Mathur is the host supervisor for a six-month Research Training Fellowship for Developing Country Scientists (RTF-DCS) for Melesse Anjulo Tora (2014-2015) from Ethiopia and Jean Augustin Rubabura Kituta (2015-2016) from DRC Congo funded by NAM S&T Centre. Dr. Mathur has been running independent animal-plant interactions research lab since 2011 at Sri Venkateswara College and has supervised four research projects (one ongoing) as principal investigator and two projects as co-investigator (one ongoing) since 2008. Dr. Mathur has several publications in various international and national peer-reviewed journals, with a total impact of 17.66. She has authored an ecology book for undergraduate students. She has given oral and poster presentations in several international and national conferences and symposiums. She has been the associate editor for Biojournal since 2013 and a reviewer in several international journals of high repute.
