Dr. Madhumita Sahoo completed her Ph.D. in Water Resources Engineering and Management from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (INDIA) in December 2017. During her doctoral research, she examined the efficiency of remotely sensed data which can help in identifying the groundwater level variation for small basins. Her devised methodologies can be helpful groundwater flow modeling under data-scarce conditions.
She has been actively involved with research dealing with water resources management through state-funded and the World Bank-funded projects. She has published her research findings in reputed international journals and conferences.

Dr. Sahoo received the prestigious Fulbright fellowship to pursue research on soil nutrient migration under a warming climate trend at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, USA. Her work on soil nutrient movement under climate change scenarios will be continued in her present study at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ. She received the Marie SkÅ‚odowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) postdoctoral fellowship in 2023. She is currently working with Prof. Steven F. Thornton and Prof. Domenico Bau. Her research will focus on warming of winter seasons and their impact on soil nitrogen cycle. Warming of winter seasons may increase nitrate fluxes from soil, particularly in temperate zones and high latitudes, with negative impacts on the quality of receiving waters (both surface and subsurface water). Effects of temperature response on the soil-nutrient dynamics and its future impact as a result of warming climate regime will help the agrarian community in efficient and sustainable management of nutrients in soil.
