معرفی
William Moe is the Marvin Rex Clemmons Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Louisiana State University (LSU). He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Notre Dame (1999) and a B.S. (Magna Cum Laude) from Gonzaga University (1994). His research focuses on biological treatment of municipal, industrial, and hazardous wastes, including biofiltration of gas-phase contaminants, anaerobic processes for chlorinated organic compound remediation, microbial physiology, and molecular tools for microbial population analysis. He has pioneered work on Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs) and industrial waste treatment strategies.
