Abstract
The Ph.D, student will have the opportunty to work in projects related to the removal and control of emerging trace organic contaminants (CEC) in water and/or wastewater. CEC removal will be investigated by using adbanced treatment processes (e.g., AOPs, GAC adsorption, membrane). Among the CEC, pharmaceutical, personal care products, disinfection by-products, PFAS will be investigated. The research will also address the real-time control of CEC in engineered water systems.
