Dr. Aloyce Isaya Amasi is a Lecturer at the Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology (NM-AIST) in Arusha, Tanzania. He holds a PhD in Environmental Sciences and a background in Chemistry and Physics from his bachelor's degree obtained at the University of Dar es Salaam. His research focuses on environmental pollution, utilizing nuclear techniques for environmental monitoring (both marine and terrestrial), hydropower sustainability, soil health assessment, and water resources management.

Dr. Amasi has published several research papers and has presented his work at international conferences. He has also received a fellowship for the application of nuclear analytical techniques in environmental monitoring and has attended several training sessions under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

 Environmental Pollution.

 Environmental Physics.

 Nuclear Techniques and Applications.

 Radiation Quantities and Measurements.

 International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA): Dr. Amasi is involved in IAEA Coordinated Research Projects, such as:

• Transfer of Radionuclides in Arid and Semi-Arid Environments for Radiological Environmental Impact
• Development of Radiometric Methods for the Measurements of Constructed Wetlands Hydrodynamics
  These projects focus on applying nuclear techniques to assess environmental pollution and sustainability.

 Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France: Dr. Amasi is a principal investigator in the project titled Embodied Energy: Socializing Low Technologies and Resources in Alternative Energy Production, which runs from January 2023 to December 2026. This project aims to promote sustainable energy practices.

 Great African Rift Research Group (GDR Rift): In November 2022, Dr. Amasi received a fellowship from GDR Rift, which enabled him to attend the first scientific symposium held in Lyon, France. The fellowship supports research in environmental sciences and related fields.

• Great African Rift Research Group (GDR Rift) Fellowship
  In November 2022, Dr. Amasi was awarded USD 1,600 by the GDR Rift to attend the first scientific symposium held in Lyon, France.

• International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Fellowship
  He has received fellowships under IAEA programs focusing on the application of nuclear analytical techniques for environmental monitoring.

Ongoing Research Projects

1.Transfer of Radionuclides in Arid and Semi-Arid Environments for Radiological Environmental Impact
This project, under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Coordinated Research Project K41022, investigates the movement and impact of radionuclides in arid and semi-arid regions, focusing on their environmental implications.

2. Development of Radiometric Methods for the Measurements of Constructed Wetlands Hydrodynamics
Also part of an IAEA Coordinated Research Project (F22076), this study aims to develop radiometric techniques to assess the hydrodynamic properties of constructed wetlands, which are essential for water purification and ecosystem management.

3. Embodied Energy: Socializing Low Technologies and Resources in Alternative Energy Production
In collaboration with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), this project focuses on utilizing low-tech solutions to produce alternative energy, aiming to empower vulnerable communities in East Africa through sustainable energy practices.

4.Radon Mass Exhalation Rates of Selected Building Materials in Tanzania
This study assesses the radon exhalation rates from various building materials used in Tanzania, evaluating potential radiological hazards associated with residential construction.
