Student Research Asst. Opportunities: Algs. for Water Quality Control in Water Distribution Networks

I am looking for students with an interest or background in Applied Math/Physics/Computer Science/Engineering and who wish to branch out and apply theirknowledge to important drinking water quality issues. Graduate studentresearch assistantships are currently available at the University of Cincinnatito study mathematical models and numerical algorithms for predicting andcontrolling water quality changes in water distribution systems. Studentswould be working toward a Ph.D. degree in Environmental Engineering at theUniversity of Cincinnati.

Research opportunities exist in the following general areas: 1) predicting andcontrolling microbial health risks associated with drinking water; 2)developingreal-time algorithms for detecting water quality anomalies and identifyingtheir cause/source; 3) developing advanced modeling tools for Monte Carlosimulation of fate and transport in water distribution systems.

I am looking for creative people who are motivated to dig in, learn about theseproblems, and make a unique contribution. Our research environment is looselystructured and team oriented. If you are interested please contact me directlyby phone or email.
