Guest Bio:
Sameer Neve is an innovative Environmental Engineer, sustainability advocate, and interdisciplinary researcher with a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology. With over 7 years of experience at the intersection of science, policy, and impact, Sameer has led projects focused on decarbonization strategies, ESG frameworks, and advanced environmental site assessments across sectors ranging from energy and infrastructure to education and sports.

Currently serving as an Associate Consultant at WSP USA and Advisory Board Member at HydraEarth Network, Sameer brings his expertise in clean energy and workforce development to shape equitable and resilient environmental solutions. His groundbreaking work in biochar research—particularly the sustainable reuse of spent biomass—has informed innovations in soil remediation, biodiversity restoration, and climate-resilient infrastructure. His efforts have been recognized through multiple peer-reviewed publications and a U.S. patent.

A strong advocate for environmental justice and community-led solutions, Sameer has contributed to national-scale environmental justice datasets, urban decontamination projects, and inclusive sustainability strategies that prioritize historically underserved populations. He also brings sustainability thinking into non-traditional domains like sports, where he explores how athletic facilities, events, and infrastructure can align with low-carbon, nature-positive goals.

From building local water purification systems in India to mentoring future environmental leaders in the U.S., Sameer continues to bridge technical expertise with real-world impact. His mission is clear: to design systems, inspire change, and build a future where biodiversity thrives, equity is embedded, and sustainability is second nature.
