Expertise
Researches sustainable solutions to produce safe drinking water
Focus
Water quality, aquatic chemistry, and environmental implications of energy technologies
Research
Dan Giammar's research focuses on chemical reactions that affect the fate and transport of heavy metals, radionuclides, and other inorganic constituents in natural and engineered aquatic systems. He is particularly interested in reactions occurring at solid-water interfaces. His recent work investigated the removal of arsenic and chromium from drinking water, control of the corrosion of lead pipes, geologic carbon sequestration, and biogeochemical processes for remediation of uranium-contaminated sites.
Biography
Professor Giammar is an environmental engineer with active educational and research programs. He currently teaches courses on environmental engineering and water quality. His work focuses on chemical reactions that impact the fate and transport of heavy metals and other pollutants in water systems. Key areas of his research include removing arsenic and chromium from drinking water, controlling lead pipe corrosion, and developing methods for uranium site remediation. He collaborates with faculty in Public Health, Design, and Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences and Chemistry to conduct interdisciplinary research on environmental challenges. He serves as a consultant to public water systems on corrosion control studies and to the National Water Resources Institute on water reuse.
Professor Giammar completed his BS at Carnegie Mellon University, MS and PhD at Caltech, and postdoctoral training at Princeton University before joining Washington University in St. Louis in 2002.
He received the National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award in 2006 and has been recognized by the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) for his teaching and professional service. In 2024 he was elected as an AEESP Fellow.
Professor Giammar is a registered professional engineer in the State of Missouri.
