    Our program has strengths in the environmental engineering Grand Challenge areas of sustainably supplying food, water, clean air, and energy; curbing climate change and adapting to its impacts; designing a future without pollution or waste; and fostering informed decisions and actions. The Environmental Engineering faculty have strengths in environmental chemistry and microbiology, treatment and remediation technologies, systems modeling, and sustainability. We welcome applicants who complement these strengths, including research that advances social and environmental justice, and those who can lead us in new directions.
