Regular biography
Bridger Ruyle is an Assistant Professor in the Civil, Urban and Environmental Engineering (CUE) Department at New York University Tandon School of Engineering. His research explores how human activity, the biosphere, and climate change affect water quality, with a focus on developing analytical tools to quantify chemical contamination and integrating in-situ and remote sensing data to assess climate impacts on water quality. His work includes studying the effects of fluorinated chemicals and pharmaceuticals in environmental media and understanding biogeochemical processes in aquatic systems. Ruyle's research has been published in prominent journals, including Global Biogeochemical Cycles and PNAS, and has contributed to understanding the impacts of climate change on Arctic river nitrogen chemistry and the prevalence of forever chemicals in wastewater.
