Roshan Bajracharya, Senior Research Fellow

With a PhD in Soil Science and MSc in Agronomy from Ohio State University, USA, Professor Roshan Man Bajracharya has over 15 years of experience in management and coordination of international collaborative research and capacity building projects with other universities and international organizations. After completion of 3 years of post-doctoral work on soil carbon dynamics and carbon sequestration in relation to climate change, he returned to Nepal and subsequently joined Kathmandu University.  He has extensive research experience in the fields of agricultural intensification, soil and water conservation, soil crusting and erosion, land use and management and soil quality.
