Hello! I am a water quality scientist & engineer who does research, teaching, and outreach on water infrastructure, resource recovery, and equitable access to quality water services. I am learning how to navigate this platform, and happy to connect with others.

Another PhD student, Avery Carlson, successfully defended his dissertation yesterday, which means another themed cake. Did wonderful work that can help scale MABR treatment technologies for energy efficient nutrient management to reduce N and P loads from cities to water bodies. Photo descriptions for visually impaired: cake showing anaerobic, anoxic, and aerobic zones from his pilot plant; and Avery holding a piece of cake that says Dr. #waterquality #WasteWaterTreatment

Another example of the downstream consequences of climate change on #DrinkingWater systems and public health risk. https://www.insider.com/brain-eating-amoeba-infections-spreading-to-new-areas-across-us-2022-11

I created a class called Water and Sanitation: Design and Practice with inspiration from Ethiopian faculty colleagues because so much of what is needed in water treatment for majority of the world is not in our conventional textbooks, across Global South and North. Almost to the end of the term. For tomorrow's topic, we start Ecosanitation and will focus on #peecycling and circular economy - for those new to this: it is about recovering N and P elements from wastes in concentrated forms by separating at the point of excretion, and using technology to process to safe NPK fertilizers. Last topic after this will be science communication & environmental justice, a topic in great demand by students. Happy to connect with anyone else creating similar content in their courses.
