Dr. Jacelyn Rice-Boayue joined the North Carolina State University Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering in July 2023. Dr. Rice-Boayue’s research combines modeling, analytical, and social science capabilities to explore the fate, transport and treatment of emerging contaminants, integrated water resource management, stormwater treatment and environmental health and equity.
Dr. Rice-Boayue earned her B.S. in civil engineering from the University of Nevada Las Vegas, and M.S. and Ph.D. in civil, sustainable, and environmental engineering from Arizona State University. She completed postdoctoral training at Duke University within the Center for the Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology. During that time, she also served as a Fulbright Scholar at the International Institute of Water and Environmental Engineering in Burkina Faso.

Research Description
Dr. Rice-Boayue aims to provide new understanding and solutions to foster sustainable water resource management through modeling, laboratory analysis, and integrated environmental assessment. Increasing complexity in human-water systems requires an integrated view on water-related issues. Her work investigates these complex systems, drawing on engineering, hydrology, economics and the social sciences. Much of the groups current and past work is centered on developing integrated models for water quality assessments on emerging contaminants, such as endocrine disrupting compounds, nitrogenous disinfection byproducts, and antibiotic resistance.
