Undergraduate StudentEnvironmental Engineering
Ira A Fulton Engineering
An environmental engineer in the School of Molecular Sciences at Arizona State University, specializing in laboratory-based research on the chemistry and transformation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Their work focuses on understanding reaction mechanisms, degradation pathways, and treatment strategies for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), with the goal of advancing effective solutions for persistent environmental contaminants. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, their research bridges environmental engineering and molecular science to improve water quality and protect public health.
