Dr. Clarke received his PhD in Chemistry from the University of Utah and his BSc in Chemistry from Central Washington University. Outside the lab, he enjoys spending time in nature and making music on a variety of instruments.

Damien Redder Graduate Student (University of Utah)

Damien is a second-year graduate student in environmental engineering at the University of Utah. He is studying surfactants as a contaminant in wastewater for application to potable water reuse systems. Damien received his B.S. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Utah. In his free time, he enjoys playing soccer, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.

Tuna Lab Mascot and #1 Good Girl

Tuna is enthusiastic about environmental chemistry as long as treats are on the table. She is not good about keeping safety goggles on or wearing closed toe shoes, so she mostly stays outside of the lab. Tuna loves running, walking, snacking, wagging her tail, attacking sprinklers, and kissing whoever will give her just the tiniest bit of affection.
