معرفی
Dr. Itza Mendoza-Sanchez is an Assistant Professor in the Zachry Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Texas A&M University, part of the College of Engineering. Her research focuses on environmental engineering and public health, particularly contaminant transport, antibiotic resistance, and water reuse systems. She holds a PhD from Texas A&M University (2007) and completed postdoctoral studies at Michigan State University and Tufts University before joining TAMU.
- Education:
- PhD, Civil Engineering, Texas A&M University (2007)
- M.S., Civil Engineering, Texas A&M University (2002)
- B.A., Civil Engineering, Instituto Politécnico Nacional (2000)
Her research interests include emerging contaminants in soils and groundwater, interactions of physical/chemical/biological processes, and human health-environmental exposure linkages. Recent work addresses wastewater-based public health monitoring in rural communities and flood impacts on urban soil microbiology. Her studies often integrate field data with modeling frameworks to address real-world environmental challenges.
Dr. Mendoza-Sanchez’s publications span environmental engineering, microbiology, and public health, emphasizing interdisciplinary solutions to water quality, antibiotic resistance, and disaster resilience. She actively contributes to community-based research in Mexico and Texas, focusing on marginalized populations’ environmental health risks.
