Biography

Professor Frigon’s research interests encompass several aspects of environmental biotechnology with a focus on microbial community engineering. His research aims at constructing mathematical models describing the dynamics and activity of microbial populations present in wastewater resource recovery systems. These models are then validated in laboratory-scale and full-scale experiments using molecular (DNA-based and RNA-based) microbiology and genomic techniques. He has expertise in environmental biotechnology applied to wastewater management, and he is involved in various projects that include the minimization and sanitation of biosolids, antimicrobial resistance genes removal during wastewater resource recovery, and biological processes for the Wastewater-to-Energy nexus. Additionally, he is currently supervising various research positions for undergraduate and graduate students in his lab.
