SCIENCE & ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING FOR WATER, WASTEWATER, STORM WATER AND ENERGY
Dr. Bruce E. Rittmann is Regents' Professor of Environmental Engineering and Director of the Biodesign Swette Center for Environmental Biotechnology at Arizona State University. His research focuses on the science and engineering needed to “manage microbial communities to provide services to society.” Services include generating renewable energy, cleaning water and soil, and improving human health.
Dr. Cesar I. Torres is an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering in the School for Engineering of, Matter, Transport and Energy at Arizona State University and part of the Chemical Engineering and the Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering Graduate Program faculties. Cesar is a leader in microbial electrochemical cell research, focusing on microbial kinetics of anode-respiring bacteria (ARB) and extracellular electron transport to and from solid electrodes.
Dr. Xu is the Director of the Environmental Lab for Innovative Technologies at New Mexico State University. Water quality and quantity, energy demand, and their impacts on people and the environment . Given the energy intensity of existing water infrastructures and the prospect that water demands will soon exceed supplies in many areas, it is critical to develop sustainable technologies for water and wastewater treatment.
Dr. Whelton and his team investigate and solves problems that affect our natural and built environments. His expertise focus is on environmental chemistry and engineering, disasters, polymer science and engineering, water quality, infrastructure, and public health. "We strive to make the world a better place through cutting-edge research and development."
Dr. Cooper ran the water reuse program for the U.S. Army at Ft. Detrick and also helped pioneer the first annual Water Reuse Symposium in 1979. Additionally, he served as director of the Drinking Water Research Center at Florida International University and as a consultant to the International Atomic Energy Agency and several international cooperative research projects. Cooper received his doctorate in marine and atmospheric chemistry from the University of Miami in 1987.
Dr. Sunny Jiang is professor and Chair of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at University of California, Irvine. She also serves as the Associate Director for UC Irvine Water and Energy Nexus Center. During her career at UCI, she has focused her research on microbiological water quality, engineered and natural water treatment including seawater desalination, and quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA). Her group has pioneered the molecular detection system for rapid human pathogens identification in water and contributed to the US EPA’s policy decision on water quality and human health protection in water reuse and water recreation.
