Since its founding in 1867, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has earned a reputation as a world-class leader in research, teaching, and public engagement.

Academic resources on campus are among the finest in the world. The University Library is one of the largest public university collections in the world with 11 million volumes in its 37 unit libraries.?Annually, 53,000,000 people visit its online catalog. Students have access to thousands of computer terminals in classrooms, residence halls, and campus libraries for use in classroom instruction, study, and research.

Also integral to the University’s mission is a commitment to public engagement. Each year about 65,000 Illinois residents participate in scores of conferences, institutes, courses, and workshops presented statewide. Research and class projects take students and professors off campus to share expertise and technical support with Illinois farmers, manufacturing firms, and businesses. In a typical year, student volunteers log more than 60,000 volunteer hours.

Timothy J. Strathmann

3209 Newmark Civil Engineering Laboratory
205 N. Mathews Ave. Urbana, IL 61801
strthmnn@
Phone: (217) 244-4679
Fax: (217) 333-6968
Research Overview:?
Dr. Strathmann’s research focuses on mechanisms controlling the fate of aquatic pollutants in both engineered treatment processes and natural systems, with a special emphasis on reduction-oxidation (redox) processes that are mediated by metal species (e.g., nanophase metal catalysts, dissolved metal complexes, soil minerals). Current research includes the development of advanced water treatment technologies for emerging micropollutants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, hormones, nitrogenous disinfection byproducts) that are more sustainable than current treatment approaches, and the study of subsurface redox processes which contribute to the remediation of persistent contaminants (e.g., explosives, uranium).
