water quality & treatment Environmental Engineering

Our research is centered on water process engineering and water quality characterization. Our primary areas of expertise include: i) wildfire disturbances to drinking water systems, ii) reuse water quality, and iii) electrochemical treatment systems. We strive to provide novel information and tools to water systems as they face heightened pressures from anthropogenic and climatic impacts.
