OverviewAI-generated summary

Diksha Shrestha's research focuses on bacterial mobility and motility in various environments, including porous media mimicked by microspheres and natural soil particles. Her work investigates the dynamics of bacterial movement, particularly in relation to flagellar function, as observed in studies involving *E. coli* within polymeric hydrogels. Shrestha also examines the concentration-dependent responses of other microorganisms, such as *C. reinhardtii*, to substances like silver ions, identifying hormetic effects on growth and motility. Additionally, her research includes the development of practical frameworks for extracting and monitoring antibiotic resistance genes in water samples, integrating separation techniques with molecular quantification. Shrestha has authored or co-authored eight publications and has an h-index of 2 with 19 citations. She has collaborated with researchers including Amani Jereb, Ariel Rogers, Mary C. Savin, and Deborah Okyere, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
