معرفی
Howard Liljestrand is the Associate Chair for Environmental Engineering and a Professor at the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering (CAEE) within the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin. His expertise spans Environmental and Water Resources Engineering, with a focus on aquatic chemistry, contaminant transport, and pollutant remediation. He holds a Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology (1980) and a B.A. from Rice University (1974).
His research interests include pollutant containment, acid deposition, and air pollution modeling. Notable work explores nanoparticle behavior in environmental systems, thermal treatment of contaminated soils, and mercury speciation in soils. Over 40 peer-reviewed articles highlight his contributions to remediation technologies, environmental chemistry, and nanomaterial toxicity.
His articles collectively address themes like nanoparticle environmental interactions, thermal degradation mechanisms, and heavy metal fate in water systems. Despite no explicitly listed awards, his extensive publication record underscores his scholarly impact. Advising and grant details are not explicitly stated, though his research aligns with CAEE’s environmental engineering mission, addressing real-world challenges in pollution control and resource sustainability.
