معرفی
Ernesto Saiz Val is a Lecturer in Environmental Science at Teesside University's School of Health and Life Sciences. He holds a PhD from Keele University (2020), focusing on nitrogen deposition impacts on peatlands and forests. His research expertise spans environmental sensors, nitrogen/carbon biogeochemistry, and water quality. He has developed novel methods for quantifying biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and pioneered low-cost sensors for soil and atmospheric monitoring. Collaborations include institutions like the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Tufts University. He is a Fellow of Advance HE and a member of the British Society of Soil Science.
