Biography

Ashish Malik is a Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, focusing on Climate and Environmental Sustainability. His research addresses major challenges in environmental sciences, particularly understanding soil processes that operate across spatial and temporal scales influencing terrestrial ecosystems. By examining microbial communities within soil, his work is central to understanding the belowground storage of carbon. He has concentrated on the ecophysiology of soil microbes, specifically their responses to land use changes and climate change. His research aims to generate a process-based understanding to provide the translational knowledge required to tackle key societal issues such as sustainable land use, climate change resilience, and natural habitat restoration.
