Penn State’s PhD in Environmental Engineering trains students to tackle complex environmental challenges through research in water resources, air quality, waste treatment, climate modeling, and environmental microbiology. The program emphasizes global relevance, system modeling, and technology development for clean energy, resilient infrastructure, and environmental health solutions.
Modeling nutrient fluxes in agricultural catchments using remote sensing and in-situ data integration
Developing bio-electrochemical reactors for decentralized wastewater treatment in low-resource settings
Studying the fate and transport of microplastics in freshwater and estuarine ecosystems
Designing a predictive framework for urban heat island mitigation through green infrastructure expansion
Evaluating climate-resilient water supply planning in coastal megacities under sea level rise scenarios
Investigating methane emission control in anaerobic digesters through microbial community engineering
Developing passive air purification materials for high-traffic indoor environments using advanced filtration nanomaterials
Modeling the spread of antibiotic resistance genes in wastewater effluent and agricultural runoff systems
Studying ecosystem recovery and water quality rebound following mining remediation in legacy contaminated watersheds
Designing electrochemical oxidation processes for removal of pharmaceuticals in drinking water treatment
Creating a decision-support system for landfill leachate treatment technology selection under economic constraints
Evaluating global disparities in safe sanitation access using geospatial analytics and health burden modeling
Studying wetland biogeochemistry for nutrient retention and habitat enhancement in urban river restoration projects
Modeling groundwater salinization trends under intensive irrigation and climate stress
Building a life-cycle assessment tool for carbon-negative biofiltration units in decentralized water systems
