Drew+Story

Hello,

I am a PhD student in the Chemical & Environmental Engineering department at University of California, Riverside. I work in the Fate and Transport Laboratory under Dr. Sharon Walker. As a group, our work focuses on the fundamentals of colloid aggregation, deposition, release, and transport in aquatic systems. My thesis work will mainly examine the transport behaviors of engineered nanomaterials after treatment and elution from a model septic system.

I am an NSF Interdisciplinary Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) Fellow, and our team is striving to elevate the status of the Salton Sea, an inland endorheic lake in southern California with enormous ecological, economical, and cultural implications. We publish a weekly blog, SaltonSeaSense.com, to disseminate relevant information and provoke thoughtful conversations.

I earned my B.S. in Physical Sciences from LeTourneau University in Longview, TX in 2011. I concurrently earned my license to teach physical sciences at the secondary level in Texas.

In general, I wish to pursue water related research topics that have immediate applicability towards environmental policy, both in the U.S. and beyond. I hope to use these research issues as instructional subjects in the university classroom.

I look forward to meeting you all at the workshop in New Haven!
