About
Dr Dharmappa (Dharma) Hagare is an Associate Professor and researcher in the area of Sustainability/Environmental Engineering at Western Sydney University. Dharma has over 25 years of academic and 5 years of industrial experience in a wide variety of areas of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Dharma has published over 200 journal, conference and seminar papers, technical reports and book chapters. Also, received an award for best technical paper. He has received over $3.4 million in research funding. Over the years, he has graduated 15 PhD and 6 MPhil students. Dharma developed several e-resources to teach and train students and professionals in Environmental Engineering. He led a multi-disciplinary team to develop H2O – a Multimedia Package for teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students in water and wastewater engineering. Also, developed a computer program "WATOPT" for optimal design and simulation of water treatment plants.
He is the leader of Nutrient, Energy, Water and Materials Recycling Group (NEWMARG), which is focused on Circular Economy applications related to waste materials recycling. He has led as well as is currently leading several research projects that are funded by industries. His recent industry collaborators include Food Recycle, Global Renewables, Austral Bricks, several City Councils and other organisations. His pioneering work in food waste recycling has resulted in commercialisation opportunities for the industry partner. The technology that was concept tested is being implemented both nationally and internationally. Also, he is leading the research activities related to Recycled Water for Agriculture. Towards this end, he has established a research group involving several researchers from Australia, India and USA. He is also one of the key contributors to MARVI (Managed Aquifer Recharge through Village-level Intervention) project.
Dharma is a co-leader and co-founder of the Australia India Water Centre (AIWC). AIWC is a consortium of 10 Australian and 18 Indian Universities and Government Departments. As part of AIWC activities, he is leading several research projects in spring rejuvenation and wastewater recycling.
