The Evolution of Aria Amirbahman

The opportunity to join a Mitchell Center citizen-science research project allowed the 91福利 environmental engineer to grow as a scientist and teacher

Aria Amirbahman is a professor of civil and environmental engineering with specific research interests in aquatic chemistry and contaminant transport.

鈥淚鈥檓 an engineer by training so I need a structured, systematic way to approach a problem. The way I look at things, they should fit into patterns and equations. That鈥檚 my upbringing,鈥 Amirbahman says matter-of-factly.

So, it is not surprising that when he had the opportunity to join ranks with a Mitchell Center project that blended his world of hard physical science with the 鈥渟ofter鈥 social sciences to develop sustainability solutions, it took some time and convincing.
