Roopa Kamath, Ph.D., P.E.

Dr. Kamath received a Ph.D. in Environmental Science from the University of Iowa and an MS at Johns Hopkins University. Since joining GSI in 2004, her experience includes contaminant fate and transport, remedy design, risk assessment as well as providing technical support for environmental litigation projects within the US and Latin America. Dr. Kamath has also been involved in developing suitable decision frameworks for selecting and implementing remediation technologies at petroleum hydrocarbon- and chlorinated solvent- impacted sites. She is one of the authors of the BioBalance Tool Kit, a comprehensive software system that uses simple mass balance models to evaluate natural attenuation processes at sites contaminated with chlorinated solvents. She also authored a technology guide on Passive Soil Vapor Extraction and is currently a Co-Principal on an AFCEE-funded project to demonstrate the use of passive SVE technologies to treat chlorinated solvent-impacted sites. Prior to joining GSI, Dr. Kamath conducted research on the fate of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in contaminated soils, phytoremediation of PAH- and metal- contaminated soils and catabolic gene expression in microbial communities.
