Research Interests:
To overcome the economic barriers associated with potable reuse technology and to obtain minimum pathogen removal levels, it is important to understand how each unit process achieves effective pathogen inactivation and how we can maximize these processes. In the context of sub-residual ozone treatment, I am particularly interested in both addressing the contribution of ozone and hydroxyl radicals to the inactivation of different bacteriophages and native human pathogens and developing surrogate frameworks to predict viral log removal using measurable water quality and operational parameters.
