Biography: 

Professor Loeb鈥檚 research efforts span the intersection of materials science and environmental engineering, with particular focus on the removal of chemical and biological contaminants in water using sunlight, engineered light sources, and聽light-activated nanomaterials. Her recent research has aimed聽to characterize how聽sunlight inactivates challenging viruses in the environment. She is also interested in the fabrication and design of聽novel light-activated nanomaterials聽for sustainable water disinfection, and developing improved methods for detecting and quantifying pathogens in the environment.
