Niroj Aryal serves as Interim Associate Dean for Research and Professor/Chair in the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Design at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. His academic leadership spans research administration and educational innovation within environmental engineering disciplines.
Dr. Aryal holds a Ph.D. in Biosystems and Environmental Engineering from Michigan State University (2015), an M.S. in Biosystems Engineering from Michigan State University (2010), a Postgraduate Diploma in Environmental Education from Kathmandu University, and a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering from Tribhuvan University. His educational background bridges agricultural systems with advanced environmental engineering principles.
His research integrates biosystems engineering with data science applications, focusing on sustainable water management, phytoremediation techniques, and STEM education frameworks. Key interests include constructed wetlands for agricultural runoff treatment, wastewater processing using plant-based systems, and modular data science curriculum development for undergraduate engineering programs. This interdisciplinary approach addresses UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean water and quality education.
Recent publications demonstrate a dual focus on environmental engineering solutions and educational methodology. His 2022-2023 work examines glyphosate removal through hybrid wetlands, plant-based wastewater treatment processes, and data science integration in STEM education. These studies reflect growing emphasis on combining traditional environmental engineering with computational approaches.
Dr. Aryal actively contributes to academic service through 40 documented professional activities including Topic Editor roles, journal article reviews, grant proposal evaluations, and leadership positions in professional organizations. His teaching portfolio encompasses 10 courses including Ecological Engineering, General Hydrology, Geographic Information Systems, and Heat Transfer.
