What I Love Most About Research at Tech
I love the freedom of being able to develop my own solutions to problems, rather than just accepting textbook solutions. Research gives you the freedom to make mistakes, in fact, it encourages it.
Description of Student's Research
My focus is on the development of efficient and low cost water disinfection techniques that could be suitable for remote regions with limited infrastructure. My current project is determining the kinetics of microbial deactivation by various methods of UVA irradiation.
