Professor Korak’s research interests are broadly focused on water treatment engineering spanning municipal drinking water, water reuse and industrial waste management. Her recent projects include developing holistic water treatment and waste brine management processes for ion exchange systems and evaluating corrosion of drinking water distribution systems. Her research also focuses on using optical sensing techniques to characterize dissolved organic matter (DOM) fate and transport in drinking water treatment processes.
CVEN 4464 - Environmental Engineering Processes
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2018 / Fall 2019 / Fall 2020 / Fall 2021 / Fall 2022 / Fall 2023 / Fall 2024
Develops and utilizes analytic solutions for environmental process models that can be used in a) reactor design for processes used in the treatment of water, wastewater and hazardous waste and b) process analysis of natural systems, such as streams and groundwater flow. Models facilitate the tracking of contaminants in engineered and natural systems. Same as CVEN 5464 and EVEN 4464.

EVEN 5444 - Analytical Methods, Experimental Design, and Applied Data Analysis
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2022 / Spring 2023 / Spring 2024
Focuses on experimental design and applied statistical methods for data analysis in the environmental engineering field. Students learn how to design and interpret experiments considering multiple variables, avoid confounding effects, and identify interactions between variables. Statistical tools are applied to analytical methods to validate environmental analytical samples. Students learn how to decipher analytical methods to ensure that environmental samples are collected and analyzed following robust quality assurance/quality control procedures. Recommended prerequisite: an undergraduate statistics course.
EVEN 5830 - Environmental Engineering Special Topic
Primary Instructor
-
Spring 2023
Supervised study of special topics of interest to students under instructor guidance. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours.
EVEN 6504 - Advanced Physical-Chemical Processes for Water and Water Reuse Treatment
Primary Instructor
-
Fall 2023
Teaches the process fundamentals of (1) granular activated carbon adsorption (2) UV, ozone and advanced oxidation processes (3) membrane filtration and reverse osmosis treatment and (4) ion exchange. These processes, as applied to impaired water sources, including brackish/saline/saltwater and wastewater reuse, will address water quality parameters including pathogenic microorganism, background organic matter, specific organic contaminants, metals and salts.
