Biography
Dr. Asit Mazumder, Professor of Biology at the University of Victoria, is considered a world leader for his pioneering research on aquatic ecosystems in terms of water quality, nutrient dynamics, foodweb structure, contaminant transport and public health risks. His research showed how land-use and climate variability affect chemical and microbial quality of water, and developed several new technologies to track sources of chemical and microbial contaminant. He had been awarded the Chandler-Misener Award by the International Association for Great Lakes Research, and the Miller Institute Professorship for Basic Science at the University of California Berkeley 2011, and Ruth Patrick Award by American Society of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) in 2013 for his contributions to solving water quality problems with sound aquatic sciences concepts and a 1000 talent award from the Government of China. He has published over 140 international peer reviewed journal publications.
