Dr. Matthew Blair
About Me
Currently, Matt’s research interests lie at the intersection of applied environmental microbiology and environmental engineered systems. His research focus is rooted in the development and application of advanced molecular techniques to explore and optimize underlying microbial dynamics present in engineered systems. This includes the study of microbial ecology, functional genomics, and microbial contaminants such as pathogens and/or antibiotic resistance. Thus far, Matt’s interests have been heavily related to the ‘one water’ concept, including: drinking water and wastewater treatment, water reuse, water quality, biological filtration, and the protection of environmental source waters.
Matt earned a bachelor’s in civil engineering from Mississippi State University before attending graduate school at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University where he completed his master’s and doctorate in the department of civil and environmental engineering. Prior to starting his postdoc at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG), Matt completed a postdoc at Virginia Tech. Following his time at EAWAG, Matt will transition to an assistant professor position at the University of Alabama's department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering.
