Treavor Boyer is an engineering professor whose research is broadly focused on water sustainability, including drinking and wastewater treatment and natural aquatic systems.Boyer’s engineering passion is to develop robust approaches to the treatment of water at various stages in its lifecycle designed to maximize water conservation, recover valuable materials, sequester harmful contaminants, minimize the production of waste byproducts, and advance the water–energy–food nexus.
Boyer is a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment.
He strongly supports taking a systems-thinking approach to water quality and treatment that considers global drivers such as urbanization, climate change, biogeochemical cycles, sustainable engineering and disruptive innovation.
