EDUCATION

• Ph.D. Biological Systems Engineering, University of Wisconsin
• M.S. Civil Engineering, Auburn University
• B.S. Agricultural Engineering, Punjab Agricultural University

RESEARCH

Dr. Lamba conducts research in the area of water resources management. The goal of his research program is to improve fundamental knowledge of processes controlling the fate and transport of various contaminants (e.g., phosphorus, nitrogen, metals, and sediment) in agricultural and urbanized watersheds using field and laboratory based experiments, and watershed-level modeling.

COURSES

• BSEN 5220/6220 – Geospatial Technologies in Biosystems
• BSEN 5520/6520 – Watershed Modeling
