Research summary

Chang Ding studies the microorganisms and microbial communities that break down pollutants in water and wastewater, including industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals like antibiotics, and sweeteners such as acesulfame. The work combines microbiology, proteomics (studying proteins to understand what microbes are doing), and engineering approaches to improve wastewater treatment and environmental cleanup (bioremediation). This research is relevant to students interested in how bacteria detoxify contaminants and how that knowledge can be applied to real-world treatment plants.
