Teaching and Research
Professor Sedlak teaches graduate courses in
environmental chemistry, water quality engineering and ecological engineering. He also teaches a freshman
class in engineering design and analysis. He is group leader for the environmental engineering program
and an undergraduate advisor for undeclared students inthe College of Engineering.
Professor Sedlak anticipates teaching the classes
listed below in the next two academic years. Full descriptions of these
classes can be seen in the on-line course catalog.
Professor Sedlak's research interests are related
to the fate and transport of pollutants in the aquatic environment. Recent developments,
descriptions of representative projects and publications are listed
below.
