Kayleigh Millerick

Kayleigh Millerick serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Construction Engineering at Texas Tech University's Whitacre College of Engineering, specializing in environmental engineering research and education.

Her academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2014)
• M.S. in Environmental Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2009)
• B.S. dual degree in Environmental Engineering and Civil Engineering from Florida State University (2007)

Dr. Millerick's research program investigates redox-driven transformations of aquatic organic micropollutants, advanced treatment methods for contaminants adsorbed to activated carbon, and microbiological processes underlying bioremediation strategies. Her work addresses fundamental challenges in water quality engineering and contaminant fate in engineered and natural systems through interdisciplinary approaches combining chemistry, microbiology, and environmental engineering principles.
