My students and I work on the area of Environmental Biotechnology within Environmental Engineering. The current major areas of research are (i) bioenergy, (ii) water quality in drinking water distribution systems, (iii) biological nutrient removal during wastewater treatment, (iv) biofilms and biofouling, and (v) fundamental studies of DNA/RNA hybridizations in whole cells.
Bioenergy research is related to maximizing hydrogen production with photoheterotrophic bacteria.
Our research on biological nutrient removal seeks to identify microorganisms involved in the enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) process. We are also working on nutrient recovery processes and prevention of struvite precipitation in anaerobic digesters.
Research on the quality of drinking water focuses on the microbial ecology of the biofilms that form in chloraminated distribution systems. We are developing tools to determine the identity of the microorganisms present in the biofilm and in the bulk water, their resistance to disinfectants, and their viability.
In the area of biofilms and biofouling we are working on developing strategies for biofouling prevention using pulse electric fields.
Finally, our studies with in situ DNA/RNA hybridizations aim at developing a mechanistic approach for the design of fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH).
