We are delighted to introduce Paige Novak as an Associate Editor for our new journal Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology.
About Paige
Paige completed a B.S in Chemical Engineering at the University of Virginia. She then attended the University of Iowa, where she completed her M.S and PhD in 1997 – both in Environmental Engineering.
Currently, Paige is a Professor at the University of Minnesota, where she heads a research group, specializing in research on the biological transformation of hazardous substances in sediment, groundwater and wastewater. She works both in the laboratory and in the field, trying to understand the interactions between microorganisms and environmental conditions. Her current research focuses on:
- PCB dechlorinators
- The natural role of dehalorespirers in the environment
- The fate of estrogenic compounds in wastewater and the environment
- The effects of micropollutants on microbial communities
- Reactive membrane systems
Paige has recently published a paper, ‘identifying sources of emerging organic contaminants in a mixed use watershed using principal component analysis’ in our sister journal, Environmental Science: Processes & Impacts.
Paige’s Inspiration:
“I am inspired by the large number of incredibly bright people working to improve water quality and environmental sustainability through research and practice.”
