Expertise
I have been an environmental engineering faculty member at K-State for 10 years teaching, researching, and growing alongside my students, research team, and colleagues.

Through teaching, I try to help my students develop into engineering and technology professionals and expose them to current issues and technologies, including ones I work with in my own research. I teach an introductory course for BAE and ATM students, a senior-level water quality management course, and graduate-level courses in natural treatment systems and watershed modeling. Teaching
