Enhancement of Bioremediation: An Application for the Faculty Early Career Development Program

9500998阿尔瓦雷斯这是一个奖项，以提供这位研究人员响应国家科学基金会94-101国家科学基金会教师早期职业发展(职业)计划所要求的支持。这项计划的目的是鼓励作为教育工作者和研究人员的学术人员的早期发展。这位研究人员计划进行的研究旨在改善危险废物管理中的生物修复。他计划进行一种实验方法，以确定受控添加对环境无害的有机物质是否可以提高苯、甲苯、二甲苯和三氯乙烯等不那么无害的污染物的生物降解性。这位研究人员计划进行的这项研究有望用于设计基于生物的处理含有危险有机物质的水的过程。这个项目的教育部分的目标是将从研究中获得的最新知识进步纳入为工科本科生开设的传统入门课程。他的计划包括修改传统课程，开发基于使用新的化学和生物工艺的新课程，并建设一个既可用于本科生课程又可用于研究生课程的单元操作实验室。***

9500998 Alvarez This is an award to provide the support this investigator requested in response to NSF 94-101, the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program. The intent of this program is to encourage the early development of academic faculty as educators and researchers. The research this investigator plans to conduct is directed toward improving bioremediation in management of hazardous wastes. He plans on an experimental approach to determine whether the controlled addition of environmentally benign organic substances can enhance the biodegradability of less benign pollutants such as benzene, toluene, xylenes and trichlorethylene. The research this investigator plans on conducting is expected to be used in design of biologically-based processes for treatment of water that contains hazardous organic substances. The goal of the educational component of this project is to incorporate recent advances in knowledge gained from research into traditional introductory courses for undergraduate engineering students. His plan involves revision of traditional courses, developing new courses based on use of novel chemical and biological processes and constructing a unit operations laboratory that can be used for both undergraduate and graduate courses. ***
