Yeomin Yoon
Associate Professor
Education
- Ph.D., University of Colorado, Boulder, CO (2001)
- M.S., University of Colorado, Boulder, CO (1998)
- B.S., Kyunggi University, Suwon, Korea (1996)
Research Interest
Dr. Yoon’s research focuses on water and wastewater treatment to remove conventional/emerging
inorganic and organic contaminants including natural organic matter, perchlorate,
chromate, endocrine disrupting compounds, and pharmaceutical compounds from surface
and ground waters. For this research, advanced treatment technologies such as membrane,
ozone, UV, and activated carbon have been studied. Additional research interests
include nanotechnologies/nanomaterials combined with advanced water treatment techniques
for micropollutant removal from waters.
