am <b>Dr. Pradeep Kamraj</b>, working as an Assistant Professor in Applied
Geology Department, School of Applied Natural Sciences, Adama Science and
Technology University. I received my Master of Science in "Applied
Geology" in 2013. Following that, I completed my Master of Philosophy in
"Applied Geology" in 2014. In addition, I finished my Ph.D. in
Applied Geology in 2017-18. During my Ph.D., I worked as a JRF (Junior research
fellow) on an AERB (Atomic Energy Regulatory Board) funded project for two
years. On December 11, 2021, I received the "Best Researcher Award"
for one of my study works. I also received the "Academic Excellence
Award" on September 15, 2019. I was a co-investigator on two
university-funded projects totaling approximately $33,500 USD. Moreover, I have
published roughly 32 articles in reputable journals. Groundwater and surface
water investigations, seawater intrusion, human health impact, and
environmental impact assessments are among my research interests. At the
moment, I am concentrating on pioneering research in the field of hydrogeology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
