Robert L. Siegrist, Ph.D., P.E. earned his B.S. and M.S. in Civil Engineering (High Honors, 1972; 1975) and his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering (1986) at the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Siegrist has over 20 years of experience in environmental research and education including positions with academia and national laboratories in the U.S. and Norway. Since January 1995 he has been a faculty member with the Environmental Science & Engineering Division at the Colorado School of Mines, where he is currently Professor and Division Director. His research and teaching activities encompass environmental characterization and risk assessment, water reclamation and reuse and in situ remediation of contaminated sites. For over 10 years, Dr. Siegrist has been leading a program of research concerning in situ chemical oxidation that has encompassed fundamental studies of oxidation reaction chemistry and kinetics, contaminant mass transfer, and oxidant delivery systems, as well as field evaluations through pilot- and full-scale technology demonstrations. Dr. Siegrist is a leading authority on the subject and has recently completed a reference text on in situ chemical oxidation that was published by Battelle Press in 2001. Dr. Siegrist is a registered professional engineer, a member of national and international committees and advisory panels, and has served as a Fellow with the NATO Committee for Challenges to Modern Society. http://www.mines.edu/~rsiegris.
