She received her Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from University of Florida in Dec. 2010. Her doctoral research involved development and evaluation of engineered media that can be utilized to remove dissolved phosphorus in urban waters from both point sources and non-point sources. Prior to joining UAH, Dr. Wu worked as a postdoctoral associate at University of Miami focusing on the development of design principles for low-energy, low-emissions net-zero water buildings of the future. Her research interests include sustainable water/wastewater treatment, water reuse, and stormwater/non-point source pollution control.
