Research explores the detection and fate of human pathogenic viruses in the environment, the microbiome of built environments, and microbial ecology in fossil-fuel impacted systems like hydraulic fracturing produced water. His work addresses biodegradation challenges in unconventional energy resources and CO2 leakage scenarios.
Recent publications (2017–2019) focus on microbial communities in fossil-fuel impacted environments, bioremediation strategies for produced water, and adaptations in CO2-leakage aquifers. These studies span environmental engineering, microbiology, and water quality management.
Dr. Bibby works with students and researchers including Bethany Oceguera-Johnson, Andrei Badilla Aguilar, William Chen, Xijiao Wang, Mariah Antunes do Nascimento (PhD), Sushil Dahal, and lab alumni.
