  • CVEN 4424 - Environmental Organic Chemistry
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018 / Spring 2020
    Examines the fundamental physical and chemical transformations affecting the fate and transport of organic contaminants in natural and treated waters. Emphasizes quantitative approach to solubility, vapor pressure, air-water exchange, sorption, hydrolysis and redox reactions, and photodegradation. Same as EVEN 4424.
  • CVEN 5404 - Water Chemistry
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2019 / Fall 2020 / Fall 2021 / Fall 2022 / Fall 2023
    Introduces chemical fundamentals governing the chemistry of natural and treated waters. Topics include thermodynamics and kinetics of acid and base reactions, carbonate chemistry, air-water exchange, precipitation, dissolution, complexation, oxidation-reduction, and sorption.
  • CVEN 5424 - Environmental Organic Chemistry
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2020 / Spring 2024
    Examines the fundamental physical and chemical processes that impact the fate and transport of organic contaminants in natural and engineered systems. Emphasizes both equilibrium and kinetic aspects, including solubility, vapor pressure, air-water exchange, sorption, abiotic redox reactions, and photodegradation.
  • CVEN 6954 - Master's Thesis
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2019 / Spring 2020
    -
  • EVEN 1000 - Introduction to Environmental Engineering
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2021 / Fall 2022 / Fall 2023
    Introduces first-year students to the environmental engineering program from an academic and a career perspective. Covers air quality, applied ecology, chemical processing, energy, engineering for developing communities, environmental remediation, and water resources and treatment. Includes reading and writing on the history of environmental engineering, major environmental issues, and professional ethics.
  • EVEN 4100 - Environmental Sampling and Analysis
    Primary Instructor - Fall 2019
    Introduces students to techniques for characterization of surface water, subsurface water, soils and sediments, and air and planning of sampling and analysis efforts. Laboratories include stream sampling, drilling, monitoring well installation, water level, slug tests, air sampling.
  • EVEN 4424 - Environmental Organic Chemistry
    Primary Instructor - Spring 2018 / Spring 2020 / Spring 2021 / Spring 2022 / Spring 2023 / Spring 2024
