Michal Lieberman Graduate Student

Michal completed her bachelor’s degree in soil science and hydrology in upstate New York, before going to work as a laboratory technician for a water/wastewater utility in California. She is currently working on her masters, studying the formation reactions of disinfection byproducts found in potable reuse treatment. She hopes to one day design water and wastewater treatment systems for municipalities and smaller communities. When she is not in the lab, Michal can be found in one of the canyons trying to climb rocks, run trails, or ski. If you’ve checked all the canyons and she is not there, she is probably home with her cat.

Hunter Rose Undergraduate Student

Hunter Rose is in his third year at the University of Utah studying chemistry. Hunter is passionate about environmental protection and conservation. Despite living in Utah, Hunter is not an avid skier, but he does enjoy all the hiking and rock climbing the state has to offer. In his free time Hunter can be found playing tennis, cheering on the Jazz, or watching a good movie.

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 close toed 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.
