Reid David Christianson

Reid David Christianson is an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois. His research focuses on denitrifying bioreactor systems, subsurface drainage technologies, and water quality management in agricultural contexts. Key areas include optimizing bioreactor performance, analyzing surface subsidence effects, and evaluating cost efficiencies for nitrate removal systems.

Recent work explores solar-powered pumping solutions for remote bioreactors and examines hydraulic performance through aspect ratio and baffle configurations. Collaborations involve institutions like Iowa State University and the USDA.

Publications since 2023 highlight advancements in bioreactor design, nitrogen cycling dynamics, and sustainable agricultural drainage practices.
