Biographical Sketch
Dr. Edward J. Bouwer earned his Ph.D. in environmental engineering and science from Stanford University, Stanford, CA in 1982. He is a Professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University and has extensive experience with microbial process engineering and bioremediation processes. Dr. Bouwer’s research interests encompasses factors that influence biotransformation of contaminants, bioremediation for control of contaminated soils and groundwaters, biofilm kinetics, biological processes design in wastewater, industrial, and drinking water treatment, and transport and fate of microorganisms in porous media. He has (co) authored over 150 refereed journal articles, conference proceedings, book chapters, and technical reports and serves on the managing editorial board for Biodegradation and on the editorial boards for J. Contaminant Hydrology and Environmental Engineering Science. Dr. Bouwer is Director of a Hazardous Substances Research Center (HSRC) that covers EPA Regions I, II, and III. Dr. Bouwer is also Director of the newly formed Center for Contaminant Transport, Fate, and Remediation with initial funding from Honeywell International and the Maryland Department of the Environment.
