• Synthesis and Characterization of Mesoporous Metal Oxides for Environmental Applications, Fine Chemical Synthesis, and Alternative Energy Production
• Doctoral Dissertation Oral Defense of Isaac Olowookere
  This dissertation focused on the design and synthesis of highly active mesoporous metal oxide nanomaterials for environmental, industrial, and energy applications. The physicochemical properties of the nanomaterials were tuned for improved performance in catalytic azo dye photodegradation, alkene oxidation, and steam reforming of ethanol.

• Doctoral Dissertation Oral Defense of Alvaro Daniel Pantoja-Benavides
  Resource Input Management in Container-Grown Petunias to Reduce Water Use and Leachate   Container-grown production depends on frequent fertigation to maintain optimal water and nutrient levels. In some scenarios where water volumes exceed crop requirements, an excess of nutrient runoff rich in nitrate-nitrogen and phosphate-phosphorus can contaminate our water sources and generate environmental degradation, which […]
• Doctoral Dissertation Oral Defense of Alvaro Pantoja-Benavides
  Container-grown production depends on frequent fertigation to maintain optimal water and nutrient levels. In some scenarios where water volumes exceed crop requirements, an excess of nutrient runoff rich in nitrate-nitrogen and phosphate-phosphorus can contaminate our water sources and generate environmental degradation, which generate the need of improved irrigation practices while achieve sustainable horticultural production. The […]
