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

9500998 Alvarez该奖项是为了响应NSF 94-101，国家科学基金会教师早期职业发展（Career）计划，为该研究者提供支持。该计划的目的是鼓励学术教师作为教育工作者和研究人员的早期发展。该研究者计划进行的研究旨在改善危险废物管理中的生物修复。他计划进行一项实验，以确定控制添加对环境有益的有机物质是否能提高苯、甲苯、二甲苯和三氯乙烯等不太有益的污染物的生物降解性。该研究员计划进行的研究预计将用于设计用于处理含有有害有机物质的水的生物工艺。该项目的教育部分的目标是将从研究中获得的最新知识进展纳入工程本科学生的传统入门课程。他的计划包括修订传统课程，开发基于使用新的化学和生物过程的新课程，以及建立一个可用于本科和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. ***
