My Fulbright research aims to develop a novel wastewater treatment method combining biological and advanced oxidation methods to remove and degrade antibiotics more effectively. This research is a crucial component of mitigating antibiotic resistance and preventing the contamination of freshwater sources.
Abigail grew up in Vermont and earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry with a minor in Environmental Science and Studies from Skidmore College.
As a Fulbright Scholar, Abigail is working with Professor Faisal Hai at the University of Wollongong to develop a novel wastewater treatment method combining biological and advanced oxidation methods to remove and degrade antibiotics more effectively. This research is a crucial component of mitigating antibiotic resistance and preventing the contamination of freshwater sources. Upon completion of her Fulbright research, Abigail will pursue a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan.
