Prospective Ph.D. Students Fall 2025
To promote equity in the recruitment process, I am asking you to fill out a short form so that you can introduce yourself and indicate that you are interested in joining the Water-Nexus Lab. In order to join the lab, you will also need to apply to the Environmental Engineering Graduate Program. For prospective Ph.D. students interested in the Water-Nexus Lab, having an M.S. degree is not a prerequisite.
Do to the high volume of emails that I am receiving at the moment, I ask that you do not email me directly but use the form below.
