معرفی
Dr. Dimitar Epihov is an Early Career Fellow in Nature-Based Climate Solutions at the School of Biosciences, University of Sheffield. His work bridges microbial ecology, biogeochemistry, and climate change mitigation through innovative soil-based technologies.
- Research focuses on enhanced rock weathering (ERW), iron/sulfur cycling, and microbiome-driven carbon capture.
- Key contributions include the MagPI methodology for soil weathering analysis and synthetic chelator formulations to modulate soil microbiomes.
- Active in tropical and temperate forest systems, he investigates legume-microbiome interactions for accelerated weathering and nutrient cycling.
Scientific Awards:
- £12,000 Early Career Fellowship (University of Sheffield)
- £580,000 CTRF-funded project (Co-Investigator)
- £136,000 Cascade Climate Grant for enhanced weathering research
Research Trends: Recent publications emphasize ERW scalability, microbial mechanisms for carbon sequestration, and crop-type dependencies in CO2 removal. His work spans environmental biotechnology, soil microbiology, and climate-resilient agriculture, with applications in the US Midwest and tropical reforestation.
PhD Students:
- Derek Bell: Microbial enzyme activators for carbon capture
- Issi Steeley: ERW in cocoa farming sustainability
