Tohren Kibbey holds the David Ross Boyd Professorship and Lloyd G. and Joyce Austin Presidential Professorship at the University of Oklahoma's School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science. His research focuses on environmental contaminants, particularly PFAS, nanoparticle transport in porous media, and the application of machine learning to environmental science. He has pioneered studies on PFAS environmental fate, interfacial chemistry, and remediation strategies. His work integrates experimental, computational, and field-based approaches to address pressing environmental challenges.
Key research themes include:
- PFAS contamination dynamics in soils and waters
- Nanoparticle behavior in unsaturated porous media
- Machine learning for contaminant source identification
- Dynamic capillary effects and fluid phase interactions
His recent articles emphasize global PFAS burden assessments, machine learning-driven contaminant analysis, and interfacial partitioning models under real-world conditions. Collaborative projects include studies on nanoparticle detachment mechanisms and surfactant-enhanced remediation.
While no awards are explicitly listed in the provided texts, his extensive publication record and endowed professorships suggest significant recognition in environmental engineering circles.
His work has advanced understanding of contaminant mobility in heterogeneous environments and provided frameworks for predicting contaminant behavior under varying chemical and hydrological conditions.
