Dr. Kevin Orner

Dr Kevin Orner completed his PhD in Environmental Engineering in May 2019.  At USF, Kevin focused on the management of nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from wastewater streams at different scales (e.g., individual buildings, city sewersheds) and in different contexts (e.g., urban and agricultural).  He was co-advised by Prof Jim Mihelcic.

In fall of 2021, Kevin began a faculty position as an Assistant Professor in the Wadsworth Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at West Virginia University.  The overall goal of his research group is to improve human and environmental health locally and globally through the safe and sustainable recovery of resources (nutrients, energy, and water) from concentrated waste streams.
