Ecological Engineering Opportunities at Ohio State University

The Ecological Engineering program at Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio, USA) is seeking talented and motivated students to pursue the study and design of natural systems that provide societal services and benefits to nature. New faculty members have been hired to propel the growth of this emerging field at Ohio State. 

The current faculty and areas of expertise include:

 Virginie Bouchard -  bouchard.8@osu.edu

• Wetland ecology and restoration (in particular riparian and coastal systems)
• Dynamics of plant communities
• Biogeochemistry and foodweb interaction
• Landscape approaches to river ecology and restoration

Tim Granata - granata.6@osu.edu 

• Multidisciplinary aquatic science
• Bio-physical interactions
• Ecosystem restoration

 Jay Martin - martin.1130@osu.edu

• Wetland treatment systems
• Riverine and estuarine systems
• Integration of anthropogenic and natural systems
• Ecological modelling

William Mitsch - mitsch.1@osu.edu

• Wetland creation and restoration
• Wetland plant ecology and biogeochemistry 
• Ecological modelling, and river restoration

Financial support may be arranged for undergraduate and graduate students pursuing both engineering and environmental science degrees. We encourage interested students to contact one of the professors with a common area of expertise to learn about current projects and studying Ecological Engineering at Ohio State University.
