Dr. Danny Reible, P.E., BCEE, NAE
Donovan Maddox Distinguished Engineering Chair for Environmental and Water Resources
Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering
Texas Tech University

Where are the Breakthrough Technologies – How We Go From Test Bench to Utility-Scale Implementation

Dr. Reible received his B.S. in Chemical Engineering with highest honors from Lamar University. He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering at the California Inst. of Technology.

Dr.Reible's career includes nine years working on the staff at UT Austin, serving as Director of the Center for Research in Water Resources, and two years in Australia as the Shell Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Sydney. He also spent over twenty years as the Chevron Professor of Chemical Engineering at Louisiana State University, part of which he served as Director of the EPA's Hazardous Substance Research Center/South and Southwest.

Dr. Reible's area of expertise includes studying sources, transport, and fate of multimedia environmental contaminants, including the assessment and remediation of contaminated sites. Studies have involved a wide range of scales and methods, including bench scale, pilot, and field experiments, as well as computer modeling in air pollution and pollution treatment processes, sustainable water management, and contaminated site assessment and remediation. Dr. Reible has served as PI on projects totaling in excess of $30 million and has authored/edited 6 books, more than 40 chapters in books, and more than 130 refereed journal papers.

His remarks at this conference will focus on the academic sector's work to develop new technologies that will lead to better, sustainable solutions for creating an environment that will be able to address the needs of a global population exceeding 7 billion.
