- [00:00:04.536]My research focuses on how contaminants
- [00:00:07.508]in the environment behave, and then also how they affect
- [00:00:10.808]human health or environmental health.
- [00:00:12.464]My research is making an impact on the state of Nebraska
- [00:00:14.936]because it focuses on the behavior
- [00:00:16.392]of contaminants in our environment.
- [00:00:18.028]We all like to be outside enjoying clean water,
- [00:00:21.836]clean air, and clean soil, and so by looking at
- [00:00:25.002]the behavior of those contaminants, how they're released
- [00:00:27.116]and how they're degraded, we can actually
- [00:00:28.768]protect the environment and protect human health.
- [00:00:31.004]We have a lot of opportunities for students,
- [00:00:32.892]undergraduates and graduate students
- [00:00:34.391]to be involved in research.
- [00:00:36.028]We do a lot of laboratory-based research,
- [00:00:37.948]but also field-based research where we go out
- [00:00:40.348]and collect samples and monitor water quality
- [00:00:43.888]and collect soil samples across
- [00:00:46.449]different parts of the state.
- [00:00:47.788]Across our department in all of the different disciplines,
- [00:00:50.204]we make a real effort to expose students
- [00:00:53.008]to real-life examples, hands-on experiences,
- [00:00:56.248]so that when they get out and they're working,
- [00:00:58.674]they've already experienced some of the things
- [00:01:00.284]that they're gonna be doing.
- [00:01:03.536]Engineering is collaboration, it's bringing together
- [00:01:06.027]expertise from different areas to solve global problems.
