Mohan Bahadur Dangi is an American environmental engineer, science diplomat, and a professor in the Department of Geography and City & Regional Planning at California State University (CSU), Fresno, specializing in technical and social aspects of solid waste engineering and management. He is recognized internationally for his contributions to Environmental Science and Engineering curriculum development and capacity-building through the mitigation of environmental disturbances in Nepal.

His work has produced ten memoranda of understanding between the U.S. and international universities, developed two engineering curricula, drafted a K-12 Renewable Energy Curriculum in Nepal, and actively promoted environmental science and engineering education in India and Nepal. He has created and reinvented a dozen courses for CSU, Fresno, the University of Wyoming, Tribhuvan University, and the United States Agency for International Development, including two life-changing study abroad programs to the third pole, Cultural Landscape and Environmental Change in the Himalayas, and Environmental Quality in the Himalayas. His peer-reviewed publications have proven important contributions to the discipline of waste management and environmental public policy.

Professor Dangi, the recipient of the 2025 Steven K. Dentel AEESP [Association of Environmental  Engineering and Sciences Professors] Award for Global Outreach, a 2022 Embassy Science Fellowship awardee from the U.S. Department of State (DOS), and a 2021-2022 Jefferson Science Fellowship winner from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, has received numerous accolades and recognitions for his work. For example, he received the 2022 Global Achievement Award from his alma mater, Johns Hopkins University. He was a 2021-2022 Fulbright U.S. Senior Scholar to Nepal, awarded by the DOS. Additionally, he received the 2017-2018 Fulbright Specialist Award from the DOS. He serves as an Adjunct Professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur and as a Visiting Professor at Nepal Open University. He is a Board-Certified Environmental Engineer (BCEE) of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers & Scientists, a Board Certified, Water Resources Engineer (BC.WRE) of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers, and a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Colorado. He is an Associate Editor of the Waste Management & Research journal. He is a member of AEESP and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Professor Dangi is best known for his research on the management of municipal solid waste in low-income countries. He has successfully tested a combination of engineering and social science approaches to tackle a four-decade-long, ineffective endeavor in solid waste management in Kathmandu, Nepal. The work has received considerable media and official attention, including publications in multiple high-impact-factor journals. To date, he has published 32 peer- reviewed journal articles, a book chapter, 20 conference proceedings, 22 conference abstracts, 13 technical reports, three guest columns in newspapers, and 95 oral and invited presentations.
