Jake Thompson
Jake is a PhD candidate whose research centers around materials affected by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), as well as the potential migration of PFAS from these materials into the environment across various management scenarios. Beyond research, Jake spends his time cooking (primarily for the joy of eating), indulges in rock climbing, and travels to explore nature parks.
Ashley Lin
Ashley is a PhD candidate whose research focuses on characterizing lesser studied per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in different waste related matrices, like volatile PFAS in landfill gas. In her free time Ashley enjoys doing pottery, being outdoors, and getting together with friends for a board game night.
Dreyton Lott
Dreyton Lott is a PhD Candidate whose research is focused on the use of constructed wetlands for the treatment of municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill leachate, primarily for the removal of ammonia-nitrogen. Outside of work, Dreyton enjoys spending time with his wife and daughter, rock climbing, and indulging in college sports.
Jordan Magnuson
Jordan is a Masters student specializing in research on the beneficial reuse of municipal solid waste incinerator ash, specifically for use in construction materials. In her free time, Jordan enjoys hiking, camping, and reading.
Allison Cerlanek
Allison is a a PhD student whose research focuses on furthering the understanding of the presence, abundance, and diversity of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in waste management processes, such as landfill leachate evaporation. In her free time, Allison enjoys training for triathlons, walking her dog, and meeting friends for coffee and pastries.
Hannah Sackles
Hannah is a PhD student whose research focuses on solid waste decision-making, specifically in understanding the environmental, economic, and social impacts of solid waste management in Florida given existing infrastructure capacity and resilience. In her free time, Hannah enjoys being outdoors, riding horses, and working with animals.
