Aziz Amoozegar

Aziz Amoozegar is a Professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences at NC State University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. His research focuses on environmental soil physics, specifically investigating water and pollutant movement through soils, phosphorus dynamics, and soil characterization for agricultural and engineering applications.

Research programs include evaluating soil-water interactions in contaminated environments, assessing fertilizer-enhanced phosphorus transport, and developing soil analysis techniques. Key areas of study involve pollutant migration through saprolite, cadmium release kinetics in amended soils, and hydraulic functioning of compacted soils. His work bridges environmental science, agricultural engineering, and soil chemistry.

Recent publications cover topics such as phosphate mobility under unsaturated conditions, cadmium release in contaminated soils, and bioenergy grass residue effects on evaporation. He has contributed to methodological advancements in soil testing and remediation strategies for heavy metals like lead.

Dr. Amoozegar's research emphasizes practical applications for sustainable agriculture and environmental protection. No specific awards or grants are listed in the provided information, but his involvement in USDA and EPA-related programs suggests active collaborative research efforts.
