PhD Civil & Environmental Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1995. MS Civil Engineering, University of Miami, 1988 BS Civil Engineering, University of Miami, 1987
Environmental Engineering. Graduate and Undergraduate. Courses Taught: CAE240: Environmental Pollution, CAE340: Introduction to Environmental Engineering, CAE345: Environmental Analysis, CAE440: Design and Analysis of Water Quality Control Structures, CAE541: Environmental Microbiology, CAE601: Engineering Scholarship, CAE630: Environmental Fluid Mechanics. I perform a considerable amount of additional teaching through thesis and project supervision.
My research areas are diverse and include: 1) microbes in water, 2) water flows within the Everglades watershed, and 3) metals in pressure treated wood. The common thread among my research lines is environmental measurements. Most of my projects involve the collection of data from either the field or laboratory, or preferably both. Two of my research lines (microbes and treated wood) are strongly tied to public health issues and the third is indirectly tied to public health given that the Everglades serves as the ultimate source of drinking water for large urban communities. I have also had the fortunate opportunity to perform a few research projects in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, the most recent of which focuses on evaluating the relationships between water and poverty.
