Meet Alison R. Kennicutt

Dr. Allison Kennicutt loves to use hands-on learning (in the classroom, the lab, and the field) to trigger curiosity and get students excited about civil and environmental engineering. Her research interests are in drinking water treatment processes, the production of disinfection byproducts, and environmental emerging contaminants.
