Priyamvada Sharma
I'm native to Delhi, India, where residents near my home align themselves in a queue at a nearby tap to store the drinking water, supplied by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. People suffer from scarcity of water due to water table depletion and dwindling supplies of water by the government. Water scarcity and water quality issues in my hometown inspired me to study about w88 casino games and its reuse. I came to the U.S to pursue my masters and later worked in an environmental consulting firm in the field of biodegradation, transport and fate of contaminants in all different media — soil, air and water. My desire to learn more in the field of w88 casino games and its reuse, lead me to the University of Nevada, Reno. Currently, I'm pursuing a Ph.D. and believe the University is a perfect place for me to conduct research and learn more about the w88 casino games and its reuse applications. When I graduate, I would like to work for a consulting firm to find solutions for the plethora of existing problems.
Utsav Thapa
I am Utsav Thapa, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. I am from Nepal, a country with mountains, hills, and rivers. Since childhood, I was always fascinated by the flowing w88 casino games from the snow-capped mountains to the rivers and the w88 casino games tank in my town. I completed a bachelor of agricultural engineering from Tribhuwan University, Nepal and worked for a consulting company for four years. I got an opportunity to enroll in a master's of agricultural and biosystems engineering from South Dakota State University, South Dakota, USA. As a graduate research assistant, I worked on a project related to my area of interest. I worked on a w88 casino games quality project that uses effective and low-cost techniques to remove nitrate-N and dissolved phosphorus from the subsurface drainage w88 casino games. I used woodchips bioreactors and metal shavings to remove the nutrients loads in the w88 casino games. This experience of research provides me with great insight into w88 casino games quality and its management in the USA, especially the hypoxia zone in the Gulf of Mexico. After I completed my master's, I was in search of an innovative and exciting study in the field of w88 casino games quality at various universities. My search end at the University of Nevada, Reno with Dr. Hanigan's research group. I am currently working on removing pharmaceuticals from the human urine using waterless urinals sealants. The removal of pharmaceuticals from the urine will potentially reduce pharmaceuticals loads in the wastewater and conserve w88 casino games quality.
