Biography
Saisanthosh Vamshi Harsha Madiraju, Ph.D., A.S.H.M. is an accomplished environmental engineer and researcher specializing in air quality modeling, microplastic pollution, wastewater treatment, and environmental justice. He earned his Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Toledo (2018–2022), following an M.S. in Environmental Engineering from Cleveland State University (2016–2018), and a B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from VNR Vignana Jyothi Institute of Engineering & Technology, Hyderabad (2009–2013) .
During his doctoral studies, Dr. Madiraju served as a Graduate Research and Teaching Assistant at the University of Toledo. His work included development of novel line-source dispersion models for mobile sources under stable atmospheric conditions, as well as investigations into pollution prevention strategies and indoor air quality assessments. He has co-authored over 28 publications, which have garnered more than 13,300 reads and 105+ citations, demonstrating his substantial impact in the field.
His recent peer-reviewed paper, “Theoretical Review on Microplastic Pollution: A Multifaceted Threat to Marine Ecosystems, Human Health, and Environment”, was published in IgMin Research (June 2024), in collaboration with Marquette University and Osmania University. The study offers a comprehensive overview of microplastic pathways, the health and environmental risks posed, and proposes multidisciplinary mitigation strategies.
Currently, Dr. Madiraju holds the position of Environmental & Energy Manager at Brembo North America’s Homer, MI foundry, where he leads initiatives in environmental compliance, energy efficiency, and sustainability. He is also a Certified Environmental Specialist (360 Training certification, April 2023).
Driven by collaboration and public engagement, he actively mentors engineering students and contributes to environmental justice outreach in Ohio. His technical proficiency spans air quality dispersion modeling, wastewater treatment using low-cost adsorbents, GIS-based ecosystem evaluation, and environmental policy. Dr. Madiraju continues to bridge academia and industry—applying cutting‑edge research to practical solutions for air, water, and environmental health.
Research Interest
Dr. Saisanthosh Vamshi Harsha Madiraju's research focuses on advancing sustainable environmental engineering solutions through interdisciplinary approaches. His primary interests lie in air quality dispersion modeling, microplastic pollution assessment, wastewater treatment using low-cost adsorbents, and indoor air quality monitoring. He has extensively worked on developing and validating line-source dispersion models to evaluate pollutant behavior from mobile sources under varying atmospheric conditions. Additionally, he investigates the environmental and health impacts of microplastics in marine ecosystems, proposing integrated mitigation strategies. His expertise also extends to GIS-based environmental risk assessment, environmental justice mapping, and pollution prevention in industrial systems. He actively explores the nexus of environmental policy, public health, and energy management, aiming to translate academic research into practical, scalable solutions. Currently applying these skills as Environmental & Energy Manager at Brembo North America, Dr. Madiraju continues to pursue research that bridges academic innovation and industry needs to enhance global sustainability and regulatory compliance.
Open Access Policy refers to a set of principles and guidelines aimed at providing unrestricted access to scholarly research and literature. It promotes the free availability and unrestricted use of research outputs, enabling researchers, students, and the general public to access, read, download, and distribute scholarly articles without financial or legal barriers. In this response, I will provide you with an overview of the history and latest resolutions related to Open Access Policy.
Microplastic pollution in oceans poses a complex global threat to marine ecosystems and human health. These ubiquitous plastic particles originate from diverse sources and become widely dispersed by ocean currents, contaminating remote regions worldwide. In the aquatic environment, microplastics cause physical harm to aquatic species through ingestion. They disrupt habitats and act as vectors for toxic chemicals through bioaccumulation in aquatic species, enter food webs, and impair marine ecosystem functions. For humans, microplastic exposure ...via seafood consumption, drinking water, and inhalation raises concerns about potential inflammatory, cytotoxic, and endocrine-disrupting diseases that are linked to cancer, reproductive problems, and metabolic disorders. Mitigating this pervasive pollution requires a multi-pronged approach, including policy interventions that minimize plastic use, improve waste management, encourage technological innovations for biodegradable alternatives, provide public awareness campaigns, and improve coordinated efforts across plastic stakeholders. Comprehensive strategies combining research, regulations, and public engagement are crucial to protect marine life and human health from the detrimental impacts of microplastic contamination. This paper provides an overview of the origins and pathways of microplastics and assesses the impacts of microplastic pollution on human health and the environment. This study also highlights the methodology, knowledge gaps, and future directions to facilitate research on microplastic removal and risk assessment in the oceans.
