This website will no longer be updated as of January 2024.

Daniel Ma won an IUVA Scholarship which also included a travel award to the 2023 IUVA World Congress in Dubai where he presented his work “Hydropowered and wavelength optimized UV for distributed water disinfection” and also presentedon behalf of Yijing Liu her work “Disinfection and damage of nontuberculous mycobacteria by different UV wavelengths”.

 

 

 

Dan got 2nd place in the Fresh Ideas Competition at the 2023 OAWWA One Water conference with his presentation “In-pipe hydropower and UV Disinfection: optimizing microorganism activation with alternative-energy and multi-wavelength UV”. Congrats, Dan!

Yijing presented her poster “Ultraviolet disinfection and gene damage of nontuberculous mycobacteria species and morphotypes by different wavelengths” at the Water Disinfection, Byproducts, and Health Gordon Research Seminar in the days leading up to the Gordon Research Conference!

Judith successfully defended her MS thesis “Impact of water quality on UV disinfection of indigenous spores in surface, flocculated, and softened water from a drinking water treatment plant” and graduated from TU Delft!

At the AEESP conference in Boston, there were two poster presentations from our group!

Dan presented “Optimizing microorganism inactivation, repair inhibition, and electrical efficiency of multi-wavelength and alternative-energy UV”

 

 

 

 

 

Yijing presented “Impacts of different UV wavelengths on antibiotic resistant bacteria and their genes collected from wastewater” and spent time with colleagues.

Yijing won the “Young Investigator Travel Award” to present her work “Impacts of far UVC wavelengths on human health relevant microbiomes including antibiotic resistant bacteria and opportunistic pathogens” at The First International Congress on Far-UVC Science and Technology (ICFUST) which took place at Columbia University in New York City, June 14-16, 2023 where more than 200 people were in attendance.

We had a great Water TEAM lunch in the Bolz conference room with tons of natural light to celebrate the summer season!

We welcomed new PhD student Amanda Stickney who will be co-advised by Dr. Karen Dannemiller and is a student in the ESGP program.

We were also celebrating bittersweet changes to the lab:  Dr. Hull is moving to Boise State University where she will be a Clinical Assistant Professor starting Fall 2023. Dr. Hull will remain an adjunct assistant professor role at Ohio State until all students graduate and funded projects are completed. Although Ohio State has been a wonderful University and the Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering department and the Sustainability Institute have been a great fit, Dr. Hull couldn’t resist the call of the mountains out West. To commemorate, Dr. Hull and PhD students took one last group photo outside Hitchcock Hall!

 

Dan and Judith presented their work last week at the 26th Triennial Borchardt Conference: Symposium On Advancements In Water & Wastewater hosted at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI.

Dan gave a talk titled “Sequential Wavelength and Hydropowered UV Disinfection”.

Judith presented a poster titled “Evaluating water quality parameters to improve wastewater-based epidemiology”.

Great work Dan and Judith!

Congrats to Dan on being awarded the 2023 IUVA Scholarship!
