About

Yuxin Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Environmental Studies program at Binghamton University. Her research focuses on the risk assessment of contaminants arising from society and technological development. Before joining Binghamton, she worked as a postdoctoral associate in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University, and a visiting instructor in Sustainable Engineering at SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. She has also served as an expert witness for drinking water quality litigation. Since receiving her PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in 2014, Wang has researched chemical contamination and engineered new remediation strategies for wastewater in both academic and private sector settings. At CMU, she “[evaluated] the safe bromide concentration in source water to minimize the cancer risk of trihalomethanes - a group of DBPs - in treated drinking water” for her thesis, “Source Water Quality Assessment and Source WaterCharacterization for Drinking Water Protection.”
