Welcome to the Deshusses lab web page at Duke University
Dr. Deshusses' broad research interests are related to the design, analysis and application of processes for the bioremediation of contaminated air, water, sediments and soils. A current focus is on bioreactors for air and water pollution control. Applications include treatment of odors and air toxics, biogas production, and novel sanitation and biotreatment technologies. Research interests include bioenergy, biofilms, biomolecular techniques for monitoring microorganisms in complex mixed cultures, indoor air quality, nanomaterials for environmental remediation, gas-phase sensors based on functionalized nanomaterials, and mathematical modeling of environmental bioprocesses.
