Students collect water from a large tank at a wastewater treatment plant.

Welcome! Our research group works at the interface of environmental engineering, applied environmental microbiology, and public health. We work in natural and engineered systems to understand fundamental processes and develop solutions that promote safe and sustainable water resources while prioritizing public health. Some of the areas we work on include:

  • Drinking Water and Wastewater Treatment
  • Waterborne Pathogen Detection and Control
  • Microbial Ecology and Molecular Epidemiology
  • Technical Assistance for Rural Water and Wastewater Utilities

You can read more about these topics and more on our Projects page.
