biography

Dr. Subir Kumar Mandal is a scientist working onMarine Coastal Ecology and Climate Change. He has passed out post graduate degree in Marine Sciences from the University of Calcutta, Kolkata and awarded Ph. D. degree in the same subject area from the Bhavnagar University, Bhavnagar, Gujarat. He spent much of his research carrier in Marine Environmental Pollution research and developed his skills in identifying marine microalgae (phytoplankton) and the impact of marine pollution on their diversity. During his doctoral work, he carried out environmental impact studies on Marine Phytoplankton due to ship scrapping activities at Alang. He was awarded “Monbukagakusho Fellowship” by Japanese Government and worked at Tokyo University of Marine Science and Marine Science and Technology, Tokyo. There, he worked on bioremediation of As3+ and As5+ using marine cyanobacteria. During his post-doctoral, he worked on validation program of a newly developed bench top FRRF (Fast Rate Repetitive Fluorescence) to detect anoxigenic photosynthesis. After joining CSIR-CSMCRI as Junior Scientist, he started working on identifying Harmful Algal Bloom forming organisms using satellite data. He has different collaborative project with Space Application Centre (ISRO) at Ahmedabad. Currently, he is handling two other projects. Out of which, one is Marine biogeochemical cycles and Climate Change and the other one is finding potentials of marine living resources.

 

Area of Interest

To work on Marine Environmental Pollution as well as Climate Change and their impact on Marine Coastal Ecology, Marine Macro algae Aquaculture andHarmful Algal Blooms (HABs). Another interesting field of my current research work is bio-prospects of marine micro algae.
