My research work mainly focuses on greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4) dynamics in the Canadian lakes (664 lakes) under statistical 1-D modelling approach.
Assessed data using scientific methods while following important specifications.
Conducted research for proposals and assessed potential impact on constituents.
Set and oversaw quality assurance guidelines for laboratory work.
Participated in field work to the Vancouver Island, British Columbia during 2019 summer and sampled about 50 inland freshwater lakes.
Assist in studying and monitoring air, land, and water quality tests.
Compiled data in reports and other documents using JMP, R, phyton, MS excel, ODV, etc.
Prepared variety of different written communications, reports and documents.
Organized seminar session at biology department, UQAM for two sessions during 2020-2021.
Attended several national seminars, technical sessions, R & D courses across Canada.
