Andrew J Schuler
Research Area(s): Microbial Engineering, biological remediation
Water, Resources and Treatment
Andrew Schuler has an adjunct appointment in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University, and is an Assistant Professor at the University of New Mexico. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley and his B.S. from the University of Colorado at Boulder. His research interests include biological wastewater treatment processes, with an emphasis on nutrient removal and membrane bioreactors, biochemistry of microbial storage products and their effects on cell density and solids separation, and process simulation. He is also interested in combined photodegration and biodegradation of pesticides and polyaromatic hydrocarbons and the application of molecular methods to characterize microbial communities in bioreactors and the subsurface.
