Siddhant Dash

About

Dr. Siddhant Dash is an environmental engineer and JSPS International Research Fellow at Toyama Prefectural University, Japan, specializing in urban water management, aquatic ecological modeling, and fate, transport, transformation, and removal of legacy and emerging contaminants. He earned his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from IIT Guwahati and has held academic and research positions in India, Japan, and Mexico. With an expertise in contaminant modeling, water, and wastewater treatment, his work advances water quality and sustainability. Recent research includes photocatalytic degradation of emerging contaminants like PFAS, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, organic dyes, DBPs, and VOCs from water systems using nano-membranes. He has contributed to major environmental infrastructure projects, received the 2023 ISEM Best Early Career Researcher Award and the prestigious WARI Fellowship, and actively collaborates with the global water research community.
