Pankaj Kumar Gupta

Dr. Pankaj Kumar Gupta is a Ramanujan fellow ​at the Indian Institute of Technology (I.I.T.) Delhi, India and post-doctoral fellow in the faculty of environment, University of Waterloo, Canada. His current research focuses 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. Dr. Gupta hsa in-depth experience in incorporating novel technologies to map soil-water systems in more than 30sites in India. He is passionate about interdisciplinary research and teaching to understand multi-scale interactions between different components of the subsurface environment, especially the soil- groundwater-pollutant-microbes system.
