Description:
Mike is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences at the University of Washington. He received his B.S. in Civil Engineering (2001) and M.S. in Environmental Engineering (2003) from the Georgia Institute of Technology, Ph.D. in Environmental Sciences from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (2008), and was a postdoctoral fellow in the Environmental Engineering Program of Yale University from 2008-2009, prior to beginning his appointment at the UW in 2009. Mike’s research emphasizes the characterization of chemical and microbiological contaminant fate during (photo)chemical oxidation and disinfection processes applied in (waste)water treatment and healthcare, development and application of analytical approaches to quantify the impacts of such processes on contaminants’ chemical and biological properties and effects, and engineering novel approaches to centralized and decentralized (waste)water treatment – especially with regard to optimization for organic pollutant and pathogen elimination. Mike has received a number of honors for his work, including an NSF CAREER Award, the CH2M Hill/AEESP Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award from the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors, the ETH Medal from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology-Zurich, and Excellence in Review and Outstanding Reviewer awards from Environmental Science and Technology and the ASCE Journal of Environmental Engineering.
