He joined McGill as an Assistant Professor in 1997 after completing his Ph.D. at Carnegie Mellon University and a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. His research is in the area of Environmental Engineering and currently focuses on bioremediation of polluted sites and groundwater, and on carbon dioxide sequestration technologies for greenhouse gas mitigation. Prof. Ghoshal has contributed substantially to the understanding of NAPL-water interfacial mass transport processes and its impacts on remediation performance and groundwater quality. He has worked extensively on NAPL dissolution, biodegradation and interphase mass transfer in NAPL-surfactant systems.
