C. Andrew Ramsburg
Assistant Professor

Education
2002 Ph.D. (Environmental Engineering), Georgia Institute of Technology
1999 M.S. Environmental Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology
1997 B. Chemical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology

Research Interests

  • Fate and transport of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in applications of water reuse
  • Emulsion-based delivery solutes and reactive particles employed in subsurface remediation
  • Technology innovation for assessment and remediation of dense nonaqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source zones
  • Flow , transport, and exchange processes in multiphase porous media
Prof. Ramsburg is a member of Environmental and Water Resources Engineering (EWRE) and Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental (GGE) research groups within CEE and is the director and a principal investigator in the Integrated Multiphase Environmental Systems Laboratory (IMPES). The IMPES lab is a highly collaborative setting where laboratory experiments and mathematical models are combined to elucidate and explore processes which influence the persistence of contaminants and control the effectiveness of remediation in the subsurface environment.
