Biography

Erica Fuhrmeister is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Washington. Her research focuses on the impact of waterborne pathogens on global human health, particularly in resource-constrained settings where diarrheal diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality due to inadequate access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities. Fuhrmeister's work highlights how climate change exacerbates the risks posed by aging water and sanitation infrastructure while the global emergence of antimicrobial resistance further complicates the public health response to infections. She aims to understand the transmission of pathogens in the environment and identify barriers to antimicrobial resistance at both local and global scales.
