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 system, including sensor data mining, wastewater process modeling, and control.

Daehyun Ko
Environmental Engineering
Daehyun's research focuses on identifying the energy and material flow of the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) and assessing its environmental impacts through LCA (life cycle assessment). This analysis allows the WRRF to enhance economic and environmental efficiency and achieve its sustainability.
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.
