Announcement of a fully funded PhD position for Fall 2025, Clemson University, South Carolina, USA

Dr. Sahoo’s research is focused on developing strategies for sustainable water resources for contrasting and competing users (e.g., MS4s, agricultural community) in the State of South Carolina and beyond. The strategies would assist in defining and developing the next-generation regulations and policies. He believes that sustainable water issues could be addressed by understanding ecosystem and human needs. Evaluation of ecosystem issues can require an understanding of the biogeochemical cycles in aquatic systems that control the fate and transport of pollutants, by effective experiments, monitoring and computational technologies. In his career, Dr. Sahoo has applied several approaches to quantify the impacts of anthropogenic activities such as land-use changes, agriculture, urban growth and natural variabilities on aquatic ecosystems. He takes a multi-disciplinary approach to address watershed issues in coupled human-natural systems. With an understanding of various lotic and lentic processes, he recommends various non-structural and structural best management practices in rural and urban watersheds to reduce the export of the pollutant of concern, improve water quality, and minimize ecological degradations.
