Kartik Chandran is an environmental engineer integrating microbial ecology,
molecular biology, and engineering to transform wastewater from a
troublesome pollutant to a valuable resource. Traditional facilities for
biologically treating wastewater remove pathogens, organic carbon, and
nutrients (where necessary) through decades-old technology that requires
vast amounts of energy and resources, releases harmful gases into the
atmosphere, and leaves behind material that must be discarded. Chandran
approaches wastewater treatment with the goal of producing useful resources
such as fertilizers, chemicals, and energy sources, in addition to clean
water, in a way that takes into account the climate, energy, and nutrient
challenges we face today.
The key insight of Chandran’s research and applications thereof is that
certain combinations of mixed microbial communities, similar to those that
occur naturally, can be used to mitigate the harmful environmental impacts
of wastewater and extract useful products. For example, Chandran has
determined an optimal combination of microbes (and associated wastewater
treatment technologies) to remove nitrogen from waste while minimizing the
release of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas. This approach also
involves reduced chemical and energy inputs relative to traditional
treatments and has the added benefit of preventing algal blooms downstream
by maximizing nitrogen removal. More recently, using ammonia-oxidizing
bacteria, Chandran has enabled the transformation of bio-generated methane
gas into methanol, a chemical that is both easily transported and widely
useful in industry (including the wastewater industry).
Chandran imaginatively tailors his solutions to be locally appropriate. In
rural Ghana, in conjunction with his Engineers without Borders students, he
has re-engineered source-separation toilets to both provide sanitation and
recover nutrients for use in agriculture. In Kumasi, Ghana, he is testing
the large-scale conversion of sludge into biofuel while also providing new
training opportunities for local engineers and managers. Through his
groundbreaking research and its practical applications, Chandran is
demonstrating the hidden value of wastewater, conserving vital resources,
and protecting public health.
Kartik Chandran received a B.S. (1995) from the Indian Institute of
Technology at Roorkee (formerly, University of Roorkee) and a Ph.D. (1999)
from the University of Connecticut. He was a senior technical specialist (
2001–2004) with the private engineering firm Metcalf and Eddy of New York,
Inc., before returning to academia as a research associate (2004–2005) at
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Currently an associate
professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering at
Columbia University, his work has been demonstrated in New York City and
Ghana and has been published in such journals as PLoS ONE, Environmental
Microbiology, Environmental Science & Technology, and Biotechnology and
Bioengineering, among others.

。比方杨peidong，他的水平早几年就可以媲美以前拿奖的了，估计是去年才有人想到
他。这个世界有水平的人还是不少的，拿这些奖也不需要多么惊世骇俗的成就，所以，
你这个例子一点也不奇怪。

发帖数: 2353 | 5 这个奖当然档次高，我没有否定啊。我只是说不是只有牛人才能得这个奖，还是看有没
有支持你，这个不是随便谁比方说系主任什么或者自己导师就可以提名的。都是人家专
门的committee发信给特定的人，让他们推荐心中的candidate。听说这有资格推荐的人
每年还变。所以，如果你做得很好，但是领域比较小众，可能一个领域都没有人有资格
推荐。别的领域的基本不会推荐自己领域之外的。像yang peidong，张yitang这种牛人
那是影响力太大。但对大多数情况，种种因素加起来，不奇怪偶尔会有你觉得普通的人
选上。看多了，你就不会觉得这种事情奇怪了，更何况夸领域很难坚定不熟悉领域的成
就。可能这个人在他自己领域的确是个星星。
