معرفی
Nandakumar Kanavillil is a Professor at Lakehead University in the Department of Biology, with expertise spanning sustainability sciences. He teaches courses such as Animal Biology (Biology 1110), Plant Biology (Biology 1130), Introductory Ecology (Biology 2210), Invertebrate Zoology (Biology 3212), and Wetland Ecology (Biology 4430). His academic journey includes a BSc from Calicut University (1981), an MSc from Cochin University of Science and Technology (1984), a PhD from Goa University (1991), and a DSc from Kyushu University (1994).
His research focuses on periphyton ecology, biofilm dynamics, phytoplankton studies, biofouling control, inland water quality, and wetland ecosystems. He investigates microbial communities in marine and freshwater environments, exploring their roles in carbon cycling, pollution remediation, and industrial applications. His work bridges environmental science with engineering solutions, such as UV radiation efficacy and sustainable energy systems.
Dr. Kanavillil’s recent articles highlight interdisciplinary efforts: from marine carbon dynamics and renewable energy policy to agricultural genetics and biofouling mitigation. These reflect a commitment to addressing ecological and technical challenges in sustainability.
