Kerri Hickenbottom is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Arizona. She completed her B.S. degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno, and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Environmental Science and Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. Her research is centered on the development of novel engineered systems for resource recovery and reclamation of concentrate streams. She has investigated the technical, economic, and environmental life cycle impacts of a hybrid, membrane-based process (pressure retarded osmosis-membrane distillation) for energy generation from low-grade heat, forward osmosis for advanced treatment and recovery of drilling wastewater from hydraulic fracturing, and membrane distillation for management of concentrate streams. She looks forward to continuing her research and taking an interdisciplinary to solving our grand environmental challenges by collaborating with other researchers across campus.
