About Jayaram

Prof. K.J. Reddy is an internationally recognized environmental scientist and academic with over 30 years of experience at the University of Wyoming. He currently serves as Professor Emeritus in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management. His areas of expertise include water geochemistry, environmental chemistry, air quality, water quality, groundwater remediation, and sustainable ecosystem development. His academic career includes appointments as Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Research Scientist, and Visiting Research Scholar at Harvard University. His pioneering research focuses on accelerated mineral carbonation of industrial flue gas carbon dioxide, carbon capture and mineralization, arsenic removal from drinking water using cupric oxide nanoparticles, coalbed methane produced-water management, groundwater remediation, and the mobility of trace elements in soil and water. His work has contributed to the development of technologies for carbon sequestration, industrial waste valorization, and environmental protection. As an academic mentor and research leader, he has supervised 95 graduate students, advised 27 undergraduate students, and guided 10 postdoctoral fellows. He has secured more than US$28 million in competitive research funding and contributed to over 350 scientific publications, including journal articles, book chapters, conference proceedings, and research reports. He has also edited the book Coalbed Methane: Energy and Environment and holds multiple US patents. His contributions have been recognized through several prestigious honours, including the Andrew Vanvig Lifetime Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award (2015), the John P. Ellbogen Distinguished Teaching Award (2008), the Outstanding Educator-of-the-Year Award (2006), and the 2024 Academic Excellence Award in Environmental Sciences. He also completed a visiting research sabbatical at Harvard University (2014–2015). Key Highlights: - Over 30 years of academic and research experience at the University of Wyoming. - More than US$28 million in competitive research funding secured. - Over 350 scientific publications and four patents. - Supervised 95 graduate students and guided 10 postdoctoral fellows. - Visiting Research Scholar at Harvard University. - Recognized for pioneering research in carbon mineralization, arsenic removal, and water-resource management.
