Jasmeet Lamba is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biosystems Engineering at Auburn University. He received his Ph.D. in Biological Systems Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2014, M.S. in Civil Engineering from Auburn University in 2009, and B.S. in Agricultural Engineering from Punjab Agricultural University in 2007. His academic career includes roles as a Graduate Research Assistant at Auburn University from 2007 to 2009 and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 2010 to 2014, followed by a Post-doctoral Scholar position in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management at Pennsylvania State University from 2014 to 2015. Lamba joined Auburn University as an Assistant Professor in the Biosystems Engineering Department in 2015 and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2021.
Dr. Lamba's research program focuses on water resources management to enhance understanding of processes controlling the fate and transport of contaminants such as phosphorus, nitrogen, metals, and sediment in agricultural and urbanized watersheds through field experiments, laboratory studies, and modeling. His interests encompass sediment fingerprinting, environmental fate and transport of sediment and phosphorus, waste management, in-stream sediment and nutrient dynamics, and soil pore characterization using X-ray computed tomography. He has earned the Dean's Grantsmanship Award from Auburn University's College of Agriculture in 2018 and 2020, the Distinguished Young Engineer Award from the Alabama Section of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, and the 2019 Class of New Faces of ASABE Professionals. In 2013, he received the ASABE Superior Paper Award for 'Surface Transport of Nutrients From Surface-Broadcast and Subsurface-Banded Broiler Litter' published in Transactions of the ASABE. Key publications include 'Within-field variability in nutrients for site-specific agricultural management in irrigated cornfield' (Journal of the ASABE, 2022), 'Site-Specific Irrigation Scheduling Using One-Layer Soil Hydraulic Properties and Inverse Modeling' (Agricultural Water Management, 2022), 'Impact of land use and tillage practice on soil macropore characteristics inferred from X-ray computed tomography' (CATENA, 2022), and 'Temporal disaggregation of hourly precipitation under changing climate over the Southeast United States' (Scientific Data, 2022). His scholarship has garnered over 1,195 citations, reflecting impact on soil and water quality management in agriculture.
