Goel Lab @ The University of Utah

Environmental Engineering & Microbiology Lab

The Goel lab studies applied as well as fundamental processes in engineered and natural systems to accomplish environmental sustainability. The research has laboratory as well as a significant field component. Towards environmental sustainability, we are studying nutrients dynamics in streams and wetlands and in wastewater treatment plants. In the lab, we run reactors to study phosphorus removal, innovative nitrogen transformations (including anammox and anoxic methane oxidation), estrogen degradation, microbial ecology.
