Dr Jajati Mandal

Biography	I am an environmental soil chemist studying the behavior and impacts of environmental contaminants like metal(loid)s, PFAS, and tyre-rubber chemicals in agricultural systems and the environment. Currently, I am serving as a University Fellow (Environmental Pollution) at the University of Salford. I was a visiting researcher at CSIRO Australia. I am well-versed in analytical and speciation techniques for metals and metalloids in various environmental samples such as water, soil, and plants. Additionally, I have developed predictive models for arsenic limits in soil and irrigation water, coded in R using machine learning algorithms. Further I have developed 'Inquilab,' an R package to understand the dissipation kinetics, calculate the half-life periods and rate constants of compounds, pesticides, contaminants in different matrices.
Research Interests	- Research interest: Environmental soil chemist specializing in the study of environmental contaminants such as metal(loid)s, PFAS, and tire rubber chemicals within agricultural systems and their broader ecological impact. - Analytical skills: Analytical and speciation techniques for metals and metalloids in various environmental samples, including water, soil, and plants. - Arsenic research: Concentrates on understanding arsenic chemistry, speciation, toxicity, food chain transfer, and human health risk through both laboratory and field-based studies. - Predictive modeling: Developed predictive models for arsenic limits in soil and irrigation water using machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression, gradient boost machine, and random forest. - Integration: Research approach combines laboratory experiments and field studies to gain a holistic understanding of the interactions between contaminants and agricultural ecosystems.
