Ning Dai
PhD
Associate Professor
Director, Undergraduate Studies, Environmental Engineering
Research Topics
Organic nitrogen chemistry in both engineered and natural environmental systems.
Research
Dai’s research applies environmental chemistry to address engineering challenges in water treatment, wastewater reuse, and desalination and to enrich the understanding of natural processes for the transformation of synthetic chemicals on environmental surfaces (e.g., soil and leaf).
Current and recent projects
- Occurrence and formation mechanisms of disinfection byproducts of priority concerns
- Sunlight photochemistry of anthropogenic chemicals on environmental surfaces
- Oxidative degradation of membrane materials
