Special Service Award: Terry Hazen, Governor’s Chair for Environmental Biotechnology (CEE)
Many of the college’s leaders took on extra responsibilities beyond their full-time positions this past year for the good of the university and the state. TCE Interim Dean Matthew Mench recognized Terry Hazen for his work chairing a committee on COVID testing for Fall 2020 semester and then establishing weekly wastewater testing for all student residences on campus from early September to the present. Dr. Hazen was also lauded for his high number of citations in academic scholarly papers worldwide.

Research Achievement Award Winner: Joshua Fu, John D. Tickle Professor (CEE)
This award recognizes faculty members who have been tenure-line for more than 10 years and have received national or international recognition in their field. Dr. Fu’s work in the areas of air quality modeling and climate change is nearly encyclopedic in scope. His work includes studies both at the global and regional scales. His work also comprises the full spectrum of atmospheric pollutants, including particulate matter, ozone, dust, nitrogen deposition, carbon black, aerosols, acid deposition, and greenhouse gases, emanating from diverse sources such as industrial emissions, electrical power generation, transportation, forest fires and erosion.

2021 UTK Provost Success in Multidisciplinary Research Award: Healthy Environment Team
The Success in Multidisciplinary Research award is given to a team of faculty members in more than one academic college who have succeeded in gaining major external resources and recognition for multidisciplinary research. The members of this multiciliary team share common interest and have a strong passion to achieve a healthy environment. Their convergent research integrates expertise in environmental engineering, health, infrastructure, human factors, automation, systems engineering, and data science to systematically attack complex health problems. Team members are Team Leader Qiang He (CEE); Shuai Li (CEE); Mingzhou Jin (ISE); Xueping Li (ISE); Jindong Tan (MABE); Nina Fefferman (Ecology & Evolutionary Biology); Tami Wyatt (College of Nursing); and Jun Lin (Department of Animal Sciences).

He, Li, Tan Awarded Best Paper from Building & Environment
Professor Qiang He, Assistant Professor Shuai Li (CEE), and Professor Jindong Tan (MABE) recently won the Best Paper Award from Building and Environment for their paper, Segmenting areas of potential contamination for adaptive robotic disinfection in built environments. The research integrates robotic decontamination and infrastructure design, which could help mitigate the threat of pathogens like COVID-19 in buildings of mass gatherings, such as airports, offices, and restaurants.

Jon Hathaway
ISSE Affiliate and CEE Associate Professor Jon Hathaway is the newest associate editor for the Journal of Environmental Engineering. The journal, published by the American Society of Civil Engineering, shares info on research in environmental engineering science, systems engineering, and sanitation. Hathaway will contribute with his expertise in urban hydrology and green infrastructure.

Hathaway Wins Best Case Study Award from ASCE

Professor Hathaway’s recent paper, “Establishing a Framework for the Spatial Identification of Effective Impervious Areas in Gauged Basins: Review and Case Study,” published in the Journal of Sustainable Water in the Built Environment, was recently awarded Best Case Study by the journal. Co-authored with CEE alumnus Thom Epps (PhD ’18), the paper reviews existing methods to quantify and identify the impervious areas in a watershed that are most detrimental to stream health—Effective Impervious Areas (EIA)—and proposes a new model framework that builds on these methodologies to offer an automated and objective way to spatially identify the most probable impervious areas comprising the EIA.

Tschantz, who coordinated federal and nonfederal dam safety policy and program efforts for the Carter Administration from 1977-80 following the 1976 failure of Teton Dam, challenged the federal agencies to consider several contemporary dam safety issues, including hydrofracturing effects, cyber terrorism/hacking, public safety around dams, coal combustion residual (CCR) impoundments, and risk-informed decision making (RIDM), as the Joint Committee begins to update the Guidelines that President Carter, in October 1979, directed 22 federal agencies to adopt and implement.
