Research fields :

Jeff received his Bachelor’s Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the Virginia Military Institute in the US.  He received his Master’s in Environmental Engineering from Virginia Tech.  During his studies, Jeff researched ammonia emissions from dairy waste and denitrification. 

Jeff is researching predictive and model-based ammonia & aeration controls to minimize PID loop errors, energy usage and the negative impacts from industrial slug loads.  Jeff’s aim is to use statistical, mechanistic and hybrid models to accomplish this goal.  Machine learning, neural networks, hydraulic models and commercially available biological models are all elements of this research. The models will be tested at a plant owned and operated by Hampton Roads Sanitation District in eastern Virginia.
