Environmental Process Engineering

 

Dr. Morton Barlaz, PhD student Johnsie Lang, and postdoctoral researcher Florentino De La Cruz checking waste samples in the environmental lab.

This program trains students in mastering fundamentals in physical, chemical, and biological processes as well as in applying design concepts for development of engineered and natural treatment systems. Sample areas of specialization include water and waste water treatment, solid waste management processes, bioremediation, and coupled biogeochemical cycles.
