About me
I am the certified Environmental Leader, a qualified Food Technologist and an experienced Environmental Engineer. I have the PhD in Urban Engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan, and over 11 years of professional working experience with the techno-managerial, policy research, capacity building, university-level teaching, programme development, project management, environmental risk assessment, and environmental leadership. My field of specializations are water quality modelling, environmental toxicology, urban drainage, climate change models, and environmental management. My professional achievement includes, peer-review research publication, guidance to the PhD and Master’s students, and urban drainage and water quality management in Southeast Asian cities, Tokyo, Japan, Hanoi, Vietnam and Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, Cambodia.
Currently, I am working at the Policy Research Institute, a think-tank of the Government of Nepal, as a policy researcher. In the past, I have been involved in capacity building and policy research for conservation of Tonle Sap lake, Cambodia. I have lead the project in organizing international conferences (11th and 12th International symposium in Southeast Asian water environment, 2nd and 3rd International Symposium on Conservation and Management of Tropical Lakes; 10th Micropol & Ecohazard Conference) grant application, budget planning, and research coordination. I have presented my research in International conferences in Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Thailand, France, Korea, Singapore and Japan. I also have the experience of trans-disciplinary research collaboration in the multicultural environment with the partners from Cambodia, Nepal, China, Korea, Vietnam, India, Thailand, and Japan in proposing strategies for the sustainable urban water use and management.
I am more than happy to discuss and collaborate in sustainable management of urban environment by integrating three major pillars of sustainable development, i.e., Food Water and Energy by integrating solid theoretical foundation, indigenous knowledge, scientific technology and management based studies, policy relevant research, and capacity development focused on sustainability, including its social, economic and environmental dimensions.
