Sung Hee Joo , Assistant Professor of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at the University of Miami is the Director of the Environmental Nanotechnology Laboratory. Dr. Joo received PhD in environmental engineering at the University of New South Wales. Following her time in Australia, she conducted research on the formation and pathways of nitrogenous disinfection by-products during chlorine and chloramine disinfection at Yale University. She and her colleagues expanded research involving the development and applications of stabilized bimetallic nanomaterials for in situ remediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons. Dr. Joo has expertise in the field of advanced treatment technologies for emerging environmental contaminants, environmental nanotechnology, chemical nanoscience, the innovative processes of water/wastewater treatment, the application of membrane technology in wastewater, and the fate & transport of contaminants in the environment. She is a recipient of the Provost Research Award, USEPA's STAA, NRC, and YCC award of ACS. See less
