After joining chemical engineering professor last month, postdoctoral researcher Edris Madadian is applying advanced thermochemical and biochemical technologiesÌýto remove contaminants from sewage sludge, the main by-product of wastewater treatment plants.
He expects the outcome of his work, which will prevent health issues caused by the transmission of contaminantsÌýsecreted from the liquid portion of wastewater, will help municipalities close to home and around the world.
