Biography

Sadia Tamanna Khan is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University. Her research interest includes Water quality management, Storm water nutrient management, Microbiology, Bioinformatics. Currently, she is working on characterizing stormwater nutrient export variability in order to develop an optimized diversion and treatment strategy. As a part of the collaborative study between the City of Cambridge, Stantec, and Northeastern University, Sadia is focusing on data-driven solutions for managing stormwater nutrient export from a dense urban watershed. She hopes that her work will help in developing novel stormwater BMP capable of significant reductions in Phosphorus loadings which in turn, will improve the current eutrophication situation in Charles River. Currently Sadia is working on high resolution multi parameter stormwater monitoring with Boston Water and Sewer Commission and Kleinfelder.
