Dr. Masoud Jahandar Lashaki, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatics Engineering

Industrial ecology is a developing framework that attempts to reduce the environmental impacts of human activities via emulating the interconnections and interactions of natural ecosystems. Nature is a closed-loop system where all wastes produced are used as substrates for other organisms or processes.

The overarching objective of the Air Emissions Characterization and Control Laboratory  is to mimic natural ecosystems in order to transform our linear industrial systems into closed-loop processes.
