Susan K. De Long

Susan K. De Long's research focuses on environmental engineering topics such as anaerobic digestion (microbial breakdown of organic waste without oxygen), waste valorization (converting waste into useful products like chemicals or fuels), bioremediation of contaminated sites, and wastewater-based monitoring of pathogens like SARS-CoV-2. Her work often involves studying microbial communities and their metabolic pathways to improve processes for producing chemicals, treating contaminants, and managing waste sustainably. Students working with her would likely engage with laboratory bioreactor experiments, microbiome sequencing/metagenomics, and environmental monitoring techniques.
