Eng Civil Engineering McGill University 1982  Research and Expertise Research   The Alvarez Lab integrates expertise in environmental biotechnology, microbiology and nanotechnology to conduct multidisciplinary and globally-relevant research on water treatment and reuse (e.g., advanced photo-oxidation processes and nanomaterial-enabled microbial control), bioremediation of contaminated aquifers, fate and transport of toxic chemicals, antibiotic resistance propagation and control, water footprint of biofuels, microbial-plant interactions, and environmental implications of nanotechnology. Whereas our research topics and methods are quite diverse (involving molecular biology, microbial ecology, contaminant hydrogeology, materials science, biogeochemistry, photochemistry, and water resources management), there are two unifying trends. First is a commitment to enhance water resources sustainability through policy-relevant research. Second is a tendency to work on the leading edge of discovery rather than on the side of refinement. We also collaborate with numerous colleagues in Latin America, China and Europe, to offer students opportunities for international integrative experiences beyond the technical core. Current funding sources include NSF, SERDP, API, and several private industries and foundations.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Research Consortia GCC Consortium for Antimicrobial Resistance (GCC AMR)  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Geoerge R.
