Elizabeth Wallace

 

Elizabeth Wallace is a 4th year undergraduate student in Environmental Engineering and is pursuing a concurrent Masters in Environmental Engineering with an emphasis on air quality. Her current research interests focus on the impacts of energy use and its contribution to community air pollution exposure. Elizabeth recently completed a DLA (Discovery Learning Apprenticeship) designing and piloting a project-based curriculum that leverages the newly developed soil quality monitor “s-pod”, with the goal of enhancing student engagement in STEM in rural babyֱapp high schools. Her previous research includes the study of ambient levels of air toxics near fracking operations in residential babyֱapp neighborhoods through an NSF funded REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates). In her spare time, she enjoys backpacking and mountain biking in her new babyֱapp home.
