Elizabeth Casman — casman@andrew.cmu.edu | 412-268-2670 | 131C BH

Associate Research Professor - Engineering and Public Policy

Dr. Casman specializes in integrated assessment modeling of infectious disease, primarily with respect to the impacts of climate change and bioterrorism. Currently, her bioterrorism-related research includes: the potential of urban ecosystems to support rodent-borne plague epidemics, risk communication strategies for rapidly changing and complex bioterrorism scenarios, rapid detection of covert bio-attacks, the economic impact of bioterrorism, and the effect of the Patriot Act and the Bioterrorism Preparedness Act on the scientific community. She is also interested in drinking water access in developing countries, watershed management, biotechnology policy, and risk analysis.

Kelvin Gregory — kgregory@andrew.cmu.edu | 412-268-9811 | 123F PH

Assistant Professor - Civil and Environmental Engineering

Kelvin is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. His research interests are broadly defined as engineering applications of environmental microbiology. More specifically his research is directed towards understanding how microbial interactions with surfaces may be applied for remote and/or decentralized energy generation, environmental sensing and restoration. Current research topics include: electrode-based in situ bioremediation; biological fuel cells; anaerobic respiration and biofilms.
