SDG 6 | Quantifying Nitrogenous GHG from Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) Processes | Gnanaraj Augustine

<p>Part 3 - Forum on Circular Water Economy at NYU with WEF:</p> <p><strong>Welcome back SDG Talkers!! </strong>Thanks for joining us for another episode of highlighting change makers and their inspirational work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)!</p> <p>Thanks for joining us for our mini series recorded at the <a href="https://nywaterweek.com/events/forum-on-circular-water-economy-and-student-poster-exhibition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Forum on Circular Water Economy hosted at NYU</a> in partnership with the <a href="https://www.wef.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Water Environment Federation</a> and the NYU Department of Civil and Urban Engineering.</p> <p>In This Mini Series: You&#39;ll hear from students attending:</p> <ul> <li>Manhattan College</li> <li>Columbia University</li> <li>NYU</li> <li>The University of Missouri</li> </ul> <p>Hear from <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gnanaraj-a/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Gnanaraj Augustine</a>, a Graduate Research Assistant at Columbia University.</p> <p>Gnanaraj recently earned his M.S.-Ph.D. in Earth and Environmental Engineering degree from Columbia, and is now working on 1) quantifying the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from wastewater treatment facilities in aerobic and anoxic zones; and 2) characterizing the emission caused by microbial activity within the treatment facility.</p> <p>While an undergrad, Gnanaraj incorporated sustainability into cutting-edge technologies to improve the need for current water quality technology and worked on projects that center on wastewater quality and treatment methods. He has a strong interest in climate change and water quality systems, and enjoys learning new things - with a particular interest in microbiology, GHG climate change, water and wastewater - plus taking advantage of the numerous research opportunities that are made accessible to him. So take a listen to find out what he&#39;s currently researching!</p> <p><strong>Let’s
