Environmental Engineering Research

Environmental processes research focuses on developing and improving physical, chemical, and biological technologies to clean up contaminated soils, sediments, and water. Researchers combine a variety of approaches including field studies, environmental biotechnology, mathematical modeling of flow and contaminant transport, and studies of microscale phenomena. Application areas include in situ remediation of contaminated aquifers, biosensors for detecting contaminants in water and wastewater, methods to predict the fate and movement of sub-surface contaminants, and biofilms for waste water treatment.
