Jeseth+Delgado+Vela



I am currently a PhD student at the University of Michigan working under the supervision of [|Dr. Nancy G. Love]. For my doctoral research I am investigating low-energy biofilm reactors for nitrogen removal from domestic wastewater that has been treated anaerobically. I am using both lab-scale reactors and biofilm modeling to elucidate the microbial mechanisms and sustainability tradeoffs in removing nitrogen from anaerobically treated wastewater.
