I am currently working as a senior environmental sustainability specialist at the Resident Representative Office of a global footwear company in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We work in groups to consult and optimize the efficiency of water reuse, energy consumption, raw materials recycle and their renewability. Our goal is to promote clean and environmentally friendly productions in the factory facilities. Our current projects are to strengthen critical paths of the process design to reuse most of our production materials and to minimize water consumption and solid waste. The EWRE courses that I took in Sustainability and Treatment Process Engineering were very helpful as they gave me the basic understanding of process improvements in practical design issues. My thesis research in microbiology and nano-materials has also generated interests from some senior scientists in the governmental nanotechnology research laboratories. I am very excited of future opportunities in my environmental work as well as upcoming nano-materials research. I am confident that good relationships with EWRE faculty and former graduate students will provide promising opportunities to collaborate on interesting future projects.

I am working as a consulting engineer in the Walnut Creek, California, office of a consulting firm, doing both environmental and civil work. The majority of the projects that I have worked on involve the design and construction of drinking water treatment and distribution facilities, and I have also taken on various smaller tasks ranging from storm drain design to surveying. Courses in EWRE have prepared me well for my work, especially conceptual process designs, and the weekly seminars have allowed me to be conversant with technical areas not related to my thesis research. I have also seized every opportunity to work on bench-scale testing projects, attempting to relive those glorious carefree graduate student days. But of course, nothing can ever replace those good times I spent with my Kirisits Lab labmates.
