Damian Helbling received his Ph.D. in Civil Environmental Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2008. His graduate research focused on the use of sensor networks within drinking water distribution systems to monitor and control post-treatment water quality. After completing his postdoctoral work at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) in Switzerland, he explored the environmental fate of organic chemical contaminants, with a particular focus on biological transformation processes. In January 2014, Helbling joined the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. His research aims at developing techniques to characterize the universe of organic molecules in water and wastewater using high-resolution mass spectrometry, and he is focused on developing technologies for the remediation of impacted water systems. His work emphasizes the connection between human social mobility and technological development on the quality of freshwater resources, particularly concerning the occurrence and fate of organic chemicals in natural and engineered water systems.
