Christiane Hoppe
PhD Candidate. M.S. Food Chemistry Technical University of Berlin. My research interest is to investigate the fate and transport of emerging organic micropollutants during riverbank filtration (RBF) and artifical recharge and recovery (ARR). We are employing state-of-the-art analytical methods using GC/MS for quantification of target compounds and employ soil-column studies to identify removal mechanisms in a controled environment. The research is verified through monitoring efforts at a local RBF demonstration site and full-scale RBF installations in Iowa and Kentucky. My research is funded by the City of Aurora, CH2MHill and Awwa Research Foundation. My faculty advisor is Professor Drewes.
