Alexander Neaman

Edafólogo, Ph.D.

 

Alexander Neaman es Profesor Titular de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Alimentarias de la Universidad Austral de Chile (UACh). Además, colabora con el Centro de Investigación en Suelos Volcánicos de la UACh.

 

Realizó sus estudios de pregrado en la Facultad de Ciencias del Suelo en la Universidad Estatal de Moscú (Rusia), donde se especializó en química de suelos. Posteriormente, se especializó en mineralogía de suelos en la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén (Israel), obteniendo el grado de Philosophiæ Doctor (Ph.D.)

 

Su principal línea de investigación está relacionada con el comportamiento de metales y metaloides en suelos, ecotoxicología, técnicas de remediación de suelos contaminados. Asimismo, se interesa en factores que afectan el comportamiento ecológico de personas, es decir, comportamiento amigable con el medio ambiente. En el marco de esta línea de investigación, colabora con el Centro Transdisciplinario de Estudios Ambientales y Desarrollo Humano Sostenible (CEAM) de la Universidad Austral de Chile.

 

Es responsable de las asignaturas Química Aplicada, Química del Suelo, Medio Ambiente y Sociedad, entre otras.

Edaphologist, Ph.D.

 

Alexander Neaman is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Agricultural Engineering and Soils, Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences of the Austral University of Chile (UACh). He also collaborates with the UACh Volcanic Soil Research Center.

 

He is a graduate of the Faculty of Soil Sciences, Moscow State University (Russia), where he specialised in soil chemistry. He completed his Ph.D in soil mineralogy at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Israel).

 

His research interests embrace the behaviour of metals and metalloids in soils, ecotoxicology, and remediation techniques for contaminated soils. Likewise, he is interested in the factors affecting people's ecological behaviour, that is, environmentally friendly behaviour. He collaborates with the Transdisciplinary Center for Environmental Studies and Sustainable Human Development (CEAM) of UACh.

 

He is responsible for teaching the subjects of Applied Chemistry, Soil Chemistry, and Environment and Society, among others.
