LUTHER W MCDONALD
Adjunct Associate Professor, Civil And Environmental Engin
Assistant Professor, Civil And Environmental Engin
Research Summary: The McDonald Research Lab focuses on three primary topic areas: environmental radiochemistry, spent nuclear fuel reprocessing, and WMD Prevention. All research is interrelated and devoted to our core research philosophy of improving basic radionuclide material properties to aid in the rapid detection of hostile nuclear materials, remediate and dispose of radioactive materials in an environmentally responsible manner, and develop advanced processes for the recycling of spent nuclear fuel.

LUIZA APARECIDO
Assistant Professor, School Of Biological Sciences
Research Summary: As a plant ecophysiologist, my research investigates plant responses to a changing climate. Specifically, my work has focused on the effects of these stressors on plant water use and carbon assimilation rates across tropical, temperate, and arid ecosystems. Currently, my focus has been on the effects of thermal stress on natural and urban plant systems. I am also interested in novel ways of incorporating plant ecophysiology into outreach opportunities that focus on climate change awareness.
