What a great summer! The research group attended the American Water Works Association (AWWA) annual conference in Toronto, we had two wonderful undergraduate research students join the group for the summer term, and some new papers have made it to publication.
Thank You Vanessa N, and Yazhini S. for joining the Basu Research Group this summer. Both students worked together in a team environment to promote cross learning opportunities. Vanessa focused on Fluorescence Excitation Emission Matrix (FEEM) spectroscopy where she focused on measurement of dissolved organics in different water sources. Yazhini worked on filtration and biofiltration research, and was able to set up multiple column tests to assess for Methylene Blue Removal with Granular Activated Carbon (GAC). Both students also participate in NSERC CREATE WASH undergrad training seminars with Yazhini presenting her work at an Undergrad student forum.
