Dr. Agrawal is working as a professor in the Department of Environmental Engineering & Management, and Department of Applied Chemistry, Chaoyang University of Technology (CYUT), Taiwan. He graduated in 1976 from the Aligarh Muslim University (National University) and obtained a Ph.D. degree in 1982 from the HNB University of Garhwal, Srinagar (National University), India. He has more than 40 years of research experience in plant biotechnology of diverse species including medicinal plants and fungi. After serving for more than 31 years, in 2013, he discharged as a chief scientist and professor of biological sciences at the CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, the top-ranking institute in chemical sciences under the umbrella of Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ministry of Science and Technology, Govt. of India.

While in CSIR-NCL, Professor Agrawal worked as a coordinator and project leader of several research projects funded by the Govt. of India. He has more than 200 publications including 6 books (4 by Springer) to his credit on different aspects of plant biotechnology including medicinal plants and fungi. More than 7 Ph.D. and 35 M.Tech./M.Sc. students have completed their thesis work under his guidance. Professor Agrawal has been bestowed several prestigious awards and fellowships such as the Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship (Germany), DBT Overseas Associateship (USA), British Council Scholar (UK), European Research Fellow (UK), and INSA Visiting Scientist. During these fellowships, he had opportunities to work in the USA, Germany, and the UK. Also, he had research collaboration with UMR Vigne et Vins, INRA, Centre de Recherché Colmar, France.
