Professionally, Aloyce Isaya Amasi, PhD is a Lecturer in the School of Materials, Energy, Water and Environmental Sciences at the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST). He has a PhD in Environmental Sciences and background in chemistry and Physics obtained from the University of Dar es Salaam. His areas of expertise focus on the fields of radioactive and stable isotopes analysis, radiochemistry, marine and terrestrial pollution, climate change, sediment dating and sedimentation reconstruction, soil erosion and sediment source tracing (fingerprinting using geochemical & biochemical tracers), environmental radioactivity and radioecology. His areas of research interests lie on application of nuclear techniques for environmental monitoring, organic soil fertility assessment, water resources management and pest control and increase crop yields. He has published five papers and presented two in international conferences. His current research is in the areas of radionuclide transfer from soil to plant for radiological environmental impact assessment. He aims to contribute to sustainable land management plans safeguarding food, water and energy nexus through application of nuclear techniques. He has won fellowship on the application of nuclear analytical techniques for environmental monitoring and attended several trainings on the same.
