Munish Kumar Upadhyay

About

Currently, I am working as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Environmental Science and Engineering, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Kanpur, India. I am working on Chromium chemistry and speciation in groundwater, wastewater, agricultural soil, and crops. In December 2021, I completed my Ph.D in Environmental Science from BHU Varanasi, India. During my Ph.D. I have developed a Thiourea-based chemical intervention methodology to reduce arsenic loading in field-grown rice crops in Bengal delta basin.
