Welcome to the Parikh Lab!

The Environmental Soil Chemistry Group at the University of California, Davis, led by Sanjai J. Parikh, is dedicated to advancing knowledge of biogeochemical processes that shape soil and water resources. Our research spans from the molecular scale to field applications, focusing on the sorption, transport, and degradation of contaminants, nutrients, biomolecules, and bacteria. We strive to improve environmental remediation, enhance food safety and security, and promote soil health. We are equally committed to mentoring the next generation of scientists, fostering an inclusive and diverse academic community, and translating our findings into solutions that support global sustainability.

The Environmental Soil Chemistry Group is housed in the Department of Land, Air and Water Resources at the University of California, Davis.
