Students in a geography class investigate a drainage system.
Our interdisciplinary environmental engineering major brings together faculty members from the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Geography and Regional Planning, Geoscience, Mathematics, Physics, and Safety Sciences. You'll learn from—and work side by side with—experts in every aspect of environmental science and technology.
Leading our environmental engineering faculty are Professors Sajad Hamidi and Hao Tang.
Professor Hamidi, Department of Physics, holds a doctorate in civil engineering from Tarbiat Modares University and is a registered professional civil engineer. Dr. Hamidi has worked as an environmental consultant for eight years and his previous research and teaching experience is in the area of environmental engineering. The main focus of his research is environmental fluid dynamics, water resource engineering, physical oceanography, biogeochemical modeling in lakes and coastal areas, and anthropogenic influences on natural resources.
Professor Tang, Department of Chemistry, holds a doctorate in environmental engineering from Penn State University and is a registered professional environmental engineer. His research lab focuses on the engineering aspects of capacitive deionization technology for water desalination; emerging disinfection by-product control strategies for drinking water; and fat, oil, and grease removal from wastewater.
