RATE MY PROFESSOR: "Super charismatic and understanding, hes also very accommodating which is nice.”

Professor McCurry’s research focuses on protecting public health by improving the long-term safety of engineered water sources. He applies the tools of organic and analytical chemistry to water quality challenges, particularly related to chemical and ultraviolet disinfection of wastewater and drinking water. Soon, Professor McCurry will be heading to Switzerland to work at EPFL & Eawag as a Professor of Water and Wastewater Chemistry. Visit his website to learn more!
