The environmental engineering research initiative pursues groundbreaking and eco-friendly approaches to address soil, air, and water challenges in both natural and human-made environments. Key research domains encompass: environmental chemical processes, treatment of water, wastewater, and stormwater, aquatic quality assessment, soil and groundwater restoration, microbial environmental interactions, contamination reduction, energy-environment interactions, atmospheric pollution, and contaminant movement studies. Investigations may involve laboratory experiments, field studies, or computational modeling. As a multifaceted discipline, environmental engineering benefits from the varied expertise of our faculty and students, as evidenced by our extensive research portfolio. Our graduate candidates come from diverse academic backgrounds including civil/environmental engineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, biology, and environmental sciences.
