Publications

The Chair has a solid publication record and is also very active in making presentations at conferences such as Ontario Water Works Association (OWWA) and American Water Works Association's (AWWA) Annual and Water Quality Technology Conferences (WQTC). The Chair averages a total of about 25 published articles and conference presentations per year. In addition, the Chair has either been lead investigator or a significant contributor for several major research projects for the American Water Works Association Research Foundation (AwwaRF), each resulting in a comprehensive report. A large majority of the refereed papers are in first rank international journals such as Journal AWWA, Water Research, Environmental Science and Technology and Applied and Environmental Microbiology. In addition, the Chair has received various international publication and thesis awards.
