Ph.D. Mark Wiesner

Mark Wiesner is the James B. Duke Distinguished Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University. His research focuses on membrane processes, nanostructured materials, transport and fate of nanomaterials in the environment, colloidal and interfacial processes, and environmental systems analysis. He is affiliated with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and holds a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University. His work explores the environmental behavior of nanomaterials and their interactions with natural systems. Wiesner has contributed to various academic and research initiatives, including collaborations with international institutions and participation in environmental engineering research networks.

Mark Wiesner is a researcher focused on the environmental, health, and safety implications of nanomaterials. His work explores the behavior, toxicity, and fate of nanoparticles in various environments, including aquatic systems and biological organisms. He investigates the mechanisms of nanoparticle uptake, translocation, and accumulation in plants and animals, as well as their potential impacts on ecosystems and human health. His research also addresses the development of nanomaterials for water treatment technologies, such as the removal of contaminants like 2-MIB and geosmin. Additionally, he examines the chemical stability and reactivity of nanoparticles, including their interactions with ions and other substances, to assess their environmental and biological risks.
