Current Graduate Research
CEE has a small but active group of students working on a Master of Science or PhD. The work is complex and focuses on different issues for modern civil engineering firms. Our graduates will become part of the work force on infrastructure both above and below the ground.
Marco Kaltofen
Current Degree Program: MS Environmental Engineering
Brief Academic/Personal Bio: For the past 20 years I have been a civil engineer in private practice, with a small 3 person professional firm. We specialize in investigating hazardous and radioactive material releases in the US and overseas. My undergraduate work in Engineering and Chemistry was at Boston University. I have a teen and a preteen daughter who will soon be looking for a college experience of their own.
Research in Progress: Facilitated transport of enriched uranium and plutonium bound to dust particles
Long Term Goals: Post degree I'd like to continue my research on airborne transport of radionuclides, and pass on my enthusiasm for engineering to those considering a career in the sciences.
Experience at WPI: Although only half-way through a Masters of Engineering program, I have been impressed with the supportive environment and ease of networking at WPI.
