Areas of Expertise: Environmental engineering, nutrient removal in conventional wastewater treatment, and natural systems for wastewater treatment.

Background: Dr. Kruzic has experience both as an environmental engineering consultant and as an environmental engineer for a private utility company. As a consultant, he was primarily responsible for process selection and the design of several wastewater treatment facilities. While working for the utilities company at Walt Disney World, Florida, he was responsible for the design and initial operation of a multi-sponsored wastewater demonstration project using water hyacinths. His Ph.D. research was directed at the identification and modeling of nitrogen removal mechanisms in overland flow treatment. After completing his Ph.D. at U.C.D., he was awarded an Alexander von Humboldt fellowship grant to conduct research in West Germany on nitrogen removal in sequencing batch reactors. Dr. Kruzic's current research deals with the beneficial use of alkaline-stabilized biosolids and methods for enhancing nitrogen removal in natural treatment systems.
