Dr. Lowry is an associate professor in
the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon
University. He teaches Environmental Engineering, Water
Quality Engineering, Environmental Fate and Transport of Organic Compounds in
Aquatic Systems, and Environmental Sampling and Sample Characterization. His research interest is broadly defined as
transport and reaction in porous media, with a focus on the fundamental
physical/geochemical processes affecting the fate of inorganic and synthetic
organic contaminants and engineered nanomaterials in the environment. He is primarily an experimentalist and
works on a variety of application-oriented research projects developing novel
environmental technologies for restoring contaminated sediments and
groundwater. His current projects
include in situ sediment management using innovative sediment caps, DNAPL
source zone remediation through delivery of reactive nanoparticles to the
NAPL-water interface, and CO2 capture, sequestration, and
monitoring. The primary goal of most
projects is to provide economical engineering solutions to specific
relatively well-defined environmental problems, but each step of engineering development
also provides the opportunity to make fundamental scientific contributions in
the areas of contaminant transport and fate.
