Environmental Engineering

The Environmental Engineering program supports potentially transformative fundamental research that applies scientific and engineering principles to prevent, minimize, or re-use pollution, mitigate ecological and human-health impacts, and remediate polluted environments. The program focuses on interdisciplinary research that applies chemical, biological, and physical scientific principles to protect human and ecological health. Key areas of interest include building a future without pollution or waste, sustainable supply and protection of water, environmental chemistry and fate of contaminants, and environmental engineering of the built environment. Proposals should address the novelty and potentially transformative nature of the proposed work and its potential impact on society and industry. * Building a future without pollution or waste * Sustainable supply and protection of water * Environmental chemistry and fate of contaminants * Environmental engineering of the built environment
