Assistant Professor Ning Dai joined the department in 2014, after receiving her PhD in Chemical and Environmental Engineering at Yale University. Dr. Dai is interested in exploring organic nitrogen chemistry in both engineered and natural environmental systems. Her current research areas include the formation mechanisms and prevention strategies for byproducts from post-combustion CO2 capture system, disinfection byproducts, and the environmental fate of organonitrogen pesticides. She believes that better understandings in these processes will provide us with more systematic and sustainable solutions for environmental problems.
