=William Pennock=

=Bio = I am an M.S./Ph.D. student in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. My advisors are Dr. Len Lion and Dr. Monroe Weber-Shirk, and my work is in the AguaClara Program, which researches and transfers solutions for drinking water treatment in the Global South. The focus of my research is physicochemical environmental processes, and I am particularly interested in better understanding flocculation to improve the efficiency of water treatment. Currently, I am working on an NSF funded grant to study the effects of turbulence on flocculation and ways to use this knowledge to better design flocculators. I am currently finishing my M.S., for which the topic is Design of the Turbulent Tube Flocculator. My studies are funded through the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program.
