Dr. Pankaj Kumar Gupta is a post-doctoral fellow in the faculty of environment, University of Waterloo since Dec., 2018. His current research is focussed on investigating the behavior of pollutants in peatlands (Canada) and mineral aquifers (India) under dynamically fluctuating groundwater table conditions. Majority of his works focus on two areas: (1) understanding the occurrence of bio-geo-chemical interactions when pollutants migrate into groundwater systems; and (2) developing remediation strategies. He received Ph.D. from Department of Hydrology, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee on title "Fate and Transport of LNAPL under varying subsurface conditions". He has been qualified National Eligibility Test (NET-Dec 2013) with Junior research fellowship conducted by University Grant Commission (UGC), Government of India. He has also qualified Agricultural Scientist Recruitments Boards NET in Environmental Sciences (2014). He is an awardee of AGU Student Travel Grant (2017), JPGU Travel Grant (2018), EXCEED-SWINDON & DAAD Germany Grant (2018). He serves as an editorial board member for SN Applied Sciences. He has published 10 research papers, 15 book chapters, 2 popular science articles. He reviewed several research articles for reputed journals including RSC Advances, Groundwater for Sustainable Development, ASCE JEE, ASCE Irrigation and Drainage, Env. Sc, Pollution Research, Ecohydrology, J. of Contaminant Hydrology etc. He will be serving as a convener for the session "GH027-Water is life: Understanding Geogenic Groundwater Contamination and Improving Public Health through Assessment, Water Quality Modeling, and Water Supply Management" in forthcoming AGU Fall Meeting 2019. He has performed many site restoration and remediation consultancy projects at industrial polluted sites in India. See less
