Onur Apul is an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering in the College of Engineering. His research focuses on water treatment and contaminant removal, especially through carbon-based filtration. He also studies the life cycle of treatment processes to prevent contaminants from leaching back into the environment. That work includes finding ways to treat, regenerate, or contain used filter materials. Apul’s projects include thermal regeneration of filters, nanobubble technology for aeration, and new physicochemical methods to improve filter efficiency and contaminant removal.
He earned his Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering from Clemson University in 2014. His bachelor's and master's degrees are in Environmental Engineering from Turkey's Middle East Technical University.
