Dominic Frigon

Dominic Frigon is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at McGill University. His research focuses on environmental engineering, specifically microbial community engineering within wastewater resource recovery systems. Frigon develops mathematical models to describe microbial dynamics and validates them through laboratory and full-scale experiments using molecular microbiology techniques. His work is associated with the TISED and Brace Water Centre. He teaches courses such as Environmental Engineering and Microbiology for Environmental Engineering, and his research areas include environmental biotechnology applied to wastewater management.

Dominic Frigon is a researcher at McGill University specializing in biological wastewater treatment and microbial ecology. His work focuses on understanding the dynamics of microbial communities in wastewater treatment systems, including their role in antimicrobial resistance and biosolids management. Frigon's research explores the impact of wastewater treatment processes on the prevalence of virulent Escherichia coli and antimicrobial resistance genes, as well as the effectiveness of various treatment methods in reducing pathogenic risks. He also investigates the biogeography of bacterial communities and the environmental factors influencing their structure and function. His studies contribute to the development of sustainable wastewater treatment strategies and the mitigation of antimicrobial resistance in environmental systems.
