The DWRG is a collaboration between Profs. Bob Andrews, Ron Hofmann, and Susan Andrews. We work with partners from industry and government on a wide range of projects related to municipal drinking water. The Group includes approximately 25 graduate students, Post-Doctoral Fellows, and Research Managers and Associates.
Visit us on social media for more details about our group. 
Examples of Recent Research Areas:
Microplastics in drinking waters
Biologically active filtration
Ultrafiltration fouling minimization strategies
Inactivation of emerging pathogens
Synergy of multiple disinfectants
Disinfection of reuse waters
Advanced oxidation processes
Secondary disinfection, impacts of biofilm and corrosion
Control of disinfection by-products
Computational fluid dynamic modeling of dissolved air flotation
Use of fluorescence techniques to improve process control
