Sun Kumar Gurung completed his PhD in Agricultural Science at the University of Western Australia, where he explored the effects of black soldier fly larvae frass and biochar on soil biology, microbial composition, and crop growth. He is currently a postdoctoral research associate in the School of Agriculture and Environment, focusing on sustainable nutrient management projects. His broader research interests include nutrient cycling, soil carbon dynamics, plant-microbe interactions, and the transformation of organic wastes—such as frass, biosolids, and dairy food digestates—into high-efficiency soil amendments. Gurung collaborates closely with industry partners, supervises master's students, and contributes to field teaching programs. Prior to starting at UWA, he worked as an agricultural science instructor, gaining practical teaching experience in agronomy and soil fertility management. His work aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals aimed at alleviating poverty and protecting the planet.
