Dr. Magdalena Krol

Biography

Magdalena Krol is an Associate Professor at York University in the Lassonde School of Engineering, specializing in environmental engineering with expertise in numerical modeling of groundwater flow and contaminant transport. Her research activities encompass the simulation of subsurface gas movement at contaminated sites and the application of thermal remediation methods, alongside the optimization of groundwater remediation technologies. Additionally, she focuses on modeling the subsurface transport of nano-scale zero valent iron (nZVI) particles and the phenomena of microbially influenced corrosion in used nuclear fuel containers. Dr. Krol completed her doctoral studies in Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto and holds a Master of Engineering Science and Bachelor of Engineering Science in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Western Ontario. Before her academic career, she worked as a remediation engineer at a consulting company, managing various remediation projects related to a wide range of contaminants. As a licensed professional engineer in the province of Ontario, she has received several distinguished awards, including the Early Career Award from the International Association of Hydrogeologists and the Lassonde Excellence Graduate Mentorship Award. Furthermore, she is a co-founder of the innovative Water Technologies Environmental Research (iWaTER) lab at York University, which focuses on collaborative research addressing significant environmental issues.
