Michelle Crimi is a Professor jointly appointed in Civil  & Environmental Engineering and Engineering & Management at Clarkson  University. Her research focuses on developing in situ treatment technologies  for groundwater contamination, determining the impact of groundwater  technologies on aquifer quality, and integrating treatment technologies for  optimized risk reduction. Her projects are often conducted in partnerships with  industry and consulting organizations and have a strong technology transfer  focus with the objective of moving technologies from the laboratory to full  scale adoption by developing guidance, tools, protocols, and workshops to  support field application. She has been PI or co-PI on several research  projects focused on treating emerging contaminants, funded primarily by the  U.S. Department of Defense's Strategic Environmental Research and Development  Program (SERDP) and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program  (ESTCP). She earned her B.S. in Industrial Hygiene and Environmental Toxicology  from Clarkson University, her M.S. in Environmental Health from Colorado State  University, and her Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering from the  Colorado School of Mines. She spent the 2014-2015 academic year as a Fulbright  Scholar at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa.
