Steve Strickler, as a physician, has a keen interest in the environmental impacts on the health of our present and future generations. Steve is a resident of Juneau, Alaska where clean glacial waters are a cherished resource. Steve was one of the initial investors in Aquagga as their first prototype in PFAS destruction came to fruition. He is proud to be on the Board of Directors for Aquagga, contributing to the mission of ending PFAS.
Dr. Igor Novosselov is a Research Professor at the University of Washington's Mechanical Engineering Department and an adjunct at the School of Public Health. His research spans fluid and thermodynamics, supercritical fluids, nanomaterials, and aerosol sciences. Current projects include PFAS treatment in hydrothermal systems, metal-organic framework synthesis in supercritical CO2, and non-thermal plasma applications. His work also focuses on novel sensing technologies for particulate matter and low-cost sensor networks. Before UW, he developed aerosol sampling instrumentation and modeled pollution formation using computational fluid dynamics.
Timothy Strathmann is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. His research aims to develop more sustainable technologies for water treatment and waste valorization. Most recently, his research program has focused on developing innovative technologies for the treatment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), including being the lead inventor of the hydrothermal alkaline treatment technology for PFAS (HALT-PFAS). Dr. Strathmann is the recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, and his research is supported by the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Science Foundation, and the Semiconductor Research Corporation.
