# Personal Web Page of Charles N Haas __-- A WORK IN PROGRESS-- __ Welcome to Charles N. Haas' website. I am the LD Betz Professor of Environmental Engineering at [Drexel University](https://drexel.edu/) This is my personal web page. My official university web page is [here](https://drexel.edu/engineering/about/faculty-staff/H/haas-charles/). You can also review my full resume from this site. [[Full Resume.pdf]] # Short Professional Bio I am the L.D. Betz Professor of Environmental Engineering at Drexel University, where I have been since 1991. I was also Head of the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering from 2004-2020.  I received a BS (Biology) and MS (Environmental Engineering) from the [Illinois Institute of Technology](https://www.iit.edu/) and my PhD in Environmental Engineering from the [University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign](https://cee.illinois.edu/).  Prior to Drexel, I was on the faculties of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the Illinois Institute of Technology. Over my career, I have specialized in the assessment of risk from and control of human exposure to pathogenic microorganisms, and in particular, the treatment of water and wastewater to minimize microbial risk to human health. I have also applied the techniques of [[quantitative microbial risk assessment]], or QMRA, to problems in food safety, indoor air quality, recreational exposures, and occupational risks. Broader interests are in water and wastewater treatment, [[wastewater reuse]], and modeling of environmental processes. ## Significant Honors - Elected to [National Academy of Engineering](https://www.nae.edu/248754/Dr-Charles-N-Haas) (2021) - [Distinguished Fellow of the International Water Association](https://iwa-network.org/news/iwa-announces-2020-fellows-and-distinguished-fellows/) (2020) - Recipient of the[ Athalie Richardson Irvine Clarke Prize](https://www.nwri-usa.org/clarke-prize) for Outstanding Achievement in Water Science and Technology from the National Water Research Institute (2017) - American Water Works Association - Recipient of the [AP Black Research Award](https://www.awwa.org/award/a-p-black-award/) (2018) - Recipient of the [Dr. John L.
