Rate My Professor Harendra Kumar Sharma

Harendra Kumar Sharma, PhD, is an Associate Professor and Head of the School of Studies in Environmental Science (IGAEERE) at Jiwaji University, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India. He has served as Chairman of the Board of Studies in Environmental Science and as Proctor of the university. His research specializations include the synthesis and characterization of nanomaterials such as γ-MnS, PbS, lead selenide, cobalt sulphide, and nanocomposites like Fe2O3/ZnO, Chitosan/Fe2O3, and Polypyrrole/Lead Selenide. These materials are applied in photocatalytic degradation of organic textile dyes including methyl orange, heavy metal removal using low-cost adsorbents like nano/micro cellulose, gas sensing for ammonia, and environmental monitoring of air pollution, water quality, and noise levels. Sharma investigates health impacts of mining activities and air pollution on traffic police in Gwalior, meteorological effects on gaseous pollutants, agricultural contaminants in water resources, and climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems.

With 39 publications, Sharma's work has accumulated 497 citations on Google Scholar and 341 citations with 17,465 reads on ResearchGate. Key publications include 'Impact of mining activities on various environmental attributes with specific reference to health impacts in Shatabdipuram, Gwalior, India' (2014, International Research Journal of Environment Sciences, 37 citations), 'Climate Change and Its Impact on Terrestrial Ecosystems' (2020, Impacts of Climate Change on Agriculture and Aquaculture, 35 citations), 'γ-MnS nano and micro architectures: synthesis, characterization and optical properties' (2011, Materials Research Bulletin, 35 citations), 'Exposure of Air pollution and its health effects in traffic police persons of Gwalior City, India' (2017, Environmental Claims Journal, 34 citations), 'Effects of meteorological parameters on gaseous air pollutant concentrations in urban area of Gwalior City, India' (2019, Environmental Claims Journal, 23 citations), 'Low cost absorbents, techniques, and heavy metal removal efficiency' (2018, Biostimulation remediation technologies for groundwater contaminants, 18 citations), and 'Green Synthesis Derived Novel Fe2O3/ZnO Nanocomposite for Efficient Photocatalytic Degradation of Methyl Orange Dye' (2024, Current Analytical Chemistry, 13 citations). In 2022, he was conferred the Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Green Environment Promotion Award by GESA at the 4th International Conference on Environment and Society (ICES 2022). His contributions have influenced advancements in sustainable environmental remediation and pollution control strategies.
