Students having already received a MS degree are encouraged to apply for a PhD position(s) in the area of water quality and treatment. Prof. Paul Westerhoff is looking for motivated students to work on projects related to physical, oxidative, and biological processes related to removal of micropollutants (taste and odor, endocrine disruptors). Research opportunities also exist related to arsenic treatment. Motivated students with personal research ideas area also encourage to inquire about financial support for novel research concepts. Contact Prof. Paul Westerhoff by email (p.westerhoff@asu.edu) or visit his website (http://ceaspub.eas.asu.edu/pwest/ ).

Open House Announcement – Civil and Environmental Engineering
Fulton School of Engineering, Arizona State University
The Environmental Engineering program at Arizona State University (ASU) is dynamic program and has recently hired several leaders in their fields. Profs. John Crittenden (water processing / sustainability engineering), Brad Allenby (industrial ecology/ sustainability engineering), and Bruce Rittmann (biotechnology) have all joined our program within the last year. They join an active group of faculty (http://www.fulton.asu.edu/civil/Environmental/index.htm ) that have promoted water process engineering, environmental microbiology, and air pollution engineering for the last decade.
We are looking for graduate students interested in pursuing MS and PhD degrees in Environmental Engineering. We recently received funding to sponsor an open house event for interested PhD students, and want you to contact us if you are interested in attending. Please contact the Environmental Group Coordinator for information (p.westerhoff@asu.edu). The open will occur in late February or early March 2006, and expenses for some students will be paid. Only students with completed applications submitted by January 15, 2006 will be considered for coverage of travel expenses – so apply today. Information on applications can be found at: http://www.asu.edu/graduate/admissions/ or contact our graduate assistant Dawn Phelps (DAWN.PHELPS@asu.edu ) for assistance.
