Mark your calendars to join the US EPA on May 2, 2024 at 12:00pm (ET) for an online discussion panel, “Innovations in Environmental Science.” The EPA has an engaging lineup of talks from renowned researchers who are revolutionizing the field of environmental sensors which explore cutting-edge solutions for addressing PFAS, microplastics, and other emerging water contaminants – including Clarkson University’s own Silvana Andreescu, Professor and Egon Matijevic Endowed Chair of Chemistry & Biomolecular Science. Dr. Andreescu also serves on the steering committee for NYS Center of Excellence in Healthy Water Solutions at Clarkson University and SUNY ESF.
Panelists include:
EPA’s Wyatt Champion will enlighten us about the groundbreaking Greensboro Storage Tank Assessment with Remote Sensing Technologies (G-START) Project, shedding light on the advancements in remote sensing techniques to tackle environmental challenges.
Prof. Silvana Andreescu from Clarkson University will captivate us with her presentation on portable sensors and user-friendly analytical approaches that offer affordable detection of PFAS, revolutionizing water quality monitoring.
Brace yourself for an enlightening talk by Prof. Junhong Chen from UChicago/Argonne National Lab, as he unveils the molecular engineering of field-effect transistor water sensors based on 2D nanomaterials, pushing the boundaries of sensor technology.
Prof. Haoran Wei from the University of Wisconsin Madison will take us on a journey of field-deployable detection of emerging contaminants in water using Raman spectroscopy, demonstrating the power of spectroscopic techniques in environmental analysis.
