Ph.D. Students
Avery Carlson
Environmental Engineering
Research Project: Avery’s work revolves around identifying underlying factors causing dispersed bacterial growth and membrane fouling at a regional wastewater plant, and establishing a framework for finding a long-term solution.
Brett Wagner
Environmental Engineering
Brett's research focuses on startup strategies for partial nitritation/anammox membrane aerated biofilm reactors (MABR) that will be used in mainstream nitrogen removal.
Cheng Yang
Environmental Engineering
Cheng’s research focuses on smart wastewater management, including sensor data mining, robust wastewater process modeling, and predictive control.

Huanqi (Haley)’s research focuses on the development of novel anoxic suspended growth/membrane aerated biofilm reactor.
Master’s Students
Changyoon Jun
Environmental Engineering
Research Project: Changyoon is in the project on identifying the phosphorus removal characteristics through using biological and chemical processes in the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF), proceeding with SBR test, data analysis, regression, and updating SUMO modeling program.
Chaoqun Cheng
Environmental Engineering
Chaoqun is focusing on biological phosphorus removal in the Great Lakes Water Authority Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility. This research is currently being achieved through the SBR test, further wastewater characterization, and data analysis.
Tong Yu (Yet Yu)
Environmental Engineering
Research Project: Yet is focusing on the wastewater primary treatment, including Phosphorous, BOD and COD removal by applying Ferric Chloride and polymers, in the Great Lakes Water Authority Detroit Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility. This research is currently being achieved through jar test, further wastewater characterization, and data analysis.
