Dr. Louie received her Ph.D. and M.S. degrees from Carnegie Mellon University in 2014 and 2010, respectively, and her B.S. degree from the University of Texas – Austin in 2009. She carried out an NRC postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, MD from 2014 to 2016. Dr. Louie’s expertise is in environmental nanotechnology, including applications of nanomaterials for water treatment and the environmental implications of nanomaterials as potential emerging contaminants. Her research focuses on characterizing and predicting the formation of natural and synthetic organic surface coatings on nanomaterials, as well as the effects of these coatings on their reactivity, fate and transport behavior, and interactions with other environmental contaminants.
