lt;p>Dr. Eucharia Oluchi Nwaichi is a Faculty member in the Department of Biochemistry and the Acting Director of Exchange & Linkage Programmes Unit, both of the University of Port Harcourt Nigeria. Her research focuses on monitoring and understanding the quality of soil, water and air environments and looking to using her patent and associated technologies to remedy impacted environment. Her primary areas of interest include phytoremediation of impacted soils and water, including wetlands, remediation by natural attenuation, air quality monitoring, while her other research interests include toxicological assessments of exposed foods and human population. Her current projects range from production and characterization of enzymes for enhanced treatment of organic pollutants in petroleum refinery effluent to attenuation of petroleum hydrocarbon fractions using rhizobacterial isolates as well as optimization of bioremediation-cocktail for soil clean-ups. She spent several years in industry working on quality control and assurance systems and facilitated HSE compliance. In the past, she has worked with the Food and Beverage as well as the Oil and Gas industries. She completed her PhD in Environmental Biochemistry and Toxicology from the University of Port Harcourt and is affiliated with the Next Einsteins Forum, West African Science Leadership Programme, International Society of Engineering Science and Technology, Academic Society for Functional Foods and Bioactive Compounds, American Chemical Society, Rivers state Child Protection Network, International Phytotechnology Society, Nigerian Society of Biochemistry and Moleculaar Biology, Organization for Women in Science in the Developing World, Caritas Empowerment Development Initiative, International Society for Environmental Technology and Nigerian Institute of Management.
Eucharia is the sixth of nine children who all pursued graduate degrees in various disciplines. Her parents celebrated recorded successes among the children, whenever they came - for example a new pair of shoes, a dress and a hat always went to Eucharia at the end of third terms (when results are declared) when she clinched First position in her primary school days. Again, she was encouraged to teach Maths and Chemistry to her older siblings and classmates in the rural schools during the breaks. That's the kind of deep support that emboldened and propelled her to the top of her field. Inspired early to use her imagination and initiatives to solve problems, she was captivated by any project that involved taking initiatives and helping communities. Today, the use of less harmful technologies to cleaning contaminated environment has become part of her mission to create an-informed and participating community in environmental management. Eucharia has a patent to her credit in phytoremediation. As an Environmental Biochemist,, she leads a research team of policymakers and academic collaborators that synthesize evidence to take on dearth of evidence informed policymaking.
Among other notable achievements, she is the pioneer President of Organization for Women in Science in the Developing World (OWSD) University of Port Harcourt Branch where she has grown the membership to over one hundred and seventy (170) since 2019. Eucharia hasjust been elected as the National Vice President of OWSD Nigerian National Chapter. She promotes Evidence Informe Decision Making, EIDM. For example, given her knowledge and expertise in Chemical Safety and Security, she created an enabling environment for researchers, policymakers and industry partners to be trained on Chemical Safety and Security while using local evidences to push policy and researches around production, use, importation, exportation and storage of chemicals, to ensure they are not used as weapons. It is important to state that she has successfully self-funded and rolled out 4 annual editions of such laudable gestures (Seminar Series) since year

"Science by Women is a collection inspired by presentations made by women at monthly seminars ... . I was struck by the generality of the book's title, Science by Women: Stories From Careers in STEM, but I appreciate the title more now having read the book. ... The target audience of this book is women from 'underdeveloped, developing countries,' as the book states, but the book provides many practical tools any woman in STEM would find useful." (Louise Stevenson, Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Vol. 18 (4), 2022)
