Faculty As a multidisciplinary entity, the Johns Hopkins Center for Water and Health draws on faculty from the Bloomberg School of Public Health, the Whiting School of Engineering's Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering and the School of Medicine. , PhD, MS, is the Associate Director of the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, is a professional environmental engineer with research and teaching interests primarily in the area of physical/chemical processes. , PhD is a Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University and has extensive experience with microbial process engineering and bioremediation processes. Dr. Bouwer’s research interests encompasses factors that influence biotransformation of contaminants, bioremediation for control of contaminated soils and groundwaters, biofilm kinetics, biological processes design in wastewater, industrial, and drinking water treatment, and transport and fate of microorganisms in porous media. , MD, PhD, is a Professor in International Health, and co-director of the Center for Refugee and Disaster Response at the Bloomberg School. He has extensive experience in emergency preparedness and response, particularly in humanitarian needs assessment, and program planning and evaluation that address the needs of vulnerable populations. , PhD, MS, Professor and Stockholm Water Prize Laureate, is an internationally recognized microbiologist and an expert on global infectious diseases, such as cholera. She is a former Director of the National Science Foundation. , PhD, MA, is a Biostatistician whose work focuses on applications of spatial statistics and geographic information systems in public health. , PhD, is Director of the Global Program on Water and Hygiene with the Bloomberg School’s Center for Communication Programs. Her research focuses on understanding behaviors relating to safe water use in developing countries, information that is used to develop related awareness and education campaigns. , PhD, MS, PE, is an Adjunct Associate Professor in Environmental Health Sciences. His lab specializes in mass spectrometry, a molecule weighting technology, to identify and track the distribution of chemical contaminants in the environment. Recent studies have focused on the presence of triclocarban in treated sewage sludge, which is commonly used as crop fertilizer. , PhD, is a Research Associate primarily interested in aquatic colloid science and membrane technology. These two areas are merged in the understanding of organic colloids in aquatic environment and their impacts on the performance of membranes employed in water treatment and reuse. He is also interested in other physico-chemical processes in natural and engineered aquatic environments, as well as sustainable technology for water supply in municipal and rural areas. , PhD, is an Adjunct Associate Professor in Environmental Health Sciences. He runs the Center’s membrane filtration research lab where investigators work to discover the mechanisms by which the fast-growing water treatment technology of membrane filtration removes contaminants. The lab also evaluates membrane systems for use in water treatment systems.
, PhD, is an Assistant Scientist and the Program Manager of the Johns Hopkins Global Water Program. Dr. MacDonald's research focuses on biogeochemistry, the interations between living organisms, minerals, and dissolved chemicals in the environment, with an emphasis on the role of iron oxides and the behavior of arsenic. He also has an interest in the links between water, sanitation, and public health, and has worked on fluoride removal from drinking water in rural India.
, PhD, is a Professor and the Director in the Center for Water and Health at The Johns Hopkins University. Dr Schwab’s overall research focus is the development of new approaches to evaluate human microbial exposure assessment and to investigate the fate and transport of agents in the environment. , MD, Professor, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases. Her research focuses on the pathogenesis of enteric infections, including cryptosporidium. She has conducted field studies on the pathogenic parasite in Haiti and Brazil.
Clive Shiff, PhD, Associate Professor, Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, is an internationally known malaria expert with more than 30 years experience as a field biologist and medical entomologist. He coordinates the development of the Malaria Institute at Macha, the School’s field site in Zambia. , PhD, Professor, Environmental Health Sciences, bridges science and public policy in her research and work. Current research projects include an examination of exposure to mercury in small-scale gold mining; an investigation of the health impacts of industrial poultry production; and a study on urban fishing risks in Baltimore. |
