Meet IISG grad student scholar, Haribansha Timalsina! Haribansha is a third-year Ph.D. student in Agricultural and Biological Engineering in @uofigrainger, under the guidance of Rabin Bhattarai in the Water Quality Lab.
His research focuses on optimizing nature-based practices to mitigate non-point source nutrient pollution to improve water quality in the Great Lakes region and Mississippi River Basin.
The funding from IISG supports broadening the scope of his research work on designing, experimenting, and scaling up the combined strategy for mitigating dual nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from agricultural watersheds.
Learn more about his research at the link in bio.

Applications are open! Graduate student applicants can request up to $10,000 to support research expenses, graduate student stipends, travel, or other activities that help expand the scholarly or societal impact of their research.
