NGWA Workshop — Groundwater Quality and Unconventional Gas Development: Is There a Connection? November 13 - 14, 2014

Nizette Edwards received her B.S.E. in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University in 2011, with certificates in Sustainable Energy and Materials Science. Following this, she worked at Exelus Inc., developing chemical catalysts for cleaner, cheaper industrial processes. Now, she is at Carnegie Mellon University, co-advised by Athanasios Karamalidis and Gregory Lowry. Her research interests include the impact of industrial chemicals in the environment. Her current project focuses on the physicochemical behavior of organic additives of fracturing fluids to determine their fate and transport in the subsurface of the Marcellus Shale.
