Areas of Interest

Dr. Boccelli's primary research interests are in the areas of Water Resources, Water Quality, and Environmental Systems Analysis. His research activities are expected to focus on developing decision support tools based on fundamental principles of environmental engineering and science to assist engineers, managers, and policy makers in making technology, design, and regulatory decisions. More explicitly, these tools will incorporate various mathematical modeling and optimization techniques to attain the desired objectives. Additionally, given his academic and research experience, his research will include laboratory and field experiments, where appropriate, to develop an improved understanding of the processes used in the decision making process. This two-pronged research philosophy has arisen from his research and experience in both Environmental Engineering and Chemistry.
