Douglas Call

Associate Professor

Dr. Call is an Assistant Professor in Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on understanding and optimizing electrochemical and biological technologies that convert wastewater and salinity gradients into electricity. His group uses a suite of electrochemical tools to characterize electrode materials, identify system resistances, and study electron transfer proceses of electricity generating bacteria. He also studies hydrogen gas generation using microbial electrolysis cells and fundamental microbe-to-microbe interactions in methane-producting anaerobic digesters.
