Interests
Dr. Malina's teaching activities include water and wastewater engineering, treatment plant design, biological wastewater treatment, sludge treatment and disposal, solid waste engineering and management, and industrial waste treatment. His research focuses on biological treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater, sludge and solid wastes as well as best management practices for control of pollution from highway runoff and non-point sources Current research focuses on factors affecting the elimination of indicator organisms and pathogens during aerobic sludge digestion and composting; leachate recirculation to enhance bio-stabilization of solid wastes and gas production in municipal landfills; impact of highway construction and highway runoff on water quality, the application of compost manufactured topsoil and erosion control compost to control and treat runoff on highway rights-of-way, and characterization of bridge runoff.
