Qiuhong Jia, in 2005, was admitted to Environmental Science Department of Jilin University, one of the top-ten universities in China. Due to her outstanding academic performance, she has been an honor student and has been awarded scholarships for academic excellence twice. In addition to mastering educational knowledge, she has had professional internships and field study experiences. During fall 2006, she was employed as a sampler and collected sewage samples in Changchun City under the authorization of Changchun’s Environmental Protection Agency.
In summer 2007, she participated in a field study to investigate the ecosystem on Changbai Mountain, a famous resort and tourist attraction in China. From 2007 to 2008, the Chinese government held the first National Pollution Source Census. She was selected as an investigator to gather information on product patterns and garbage and sewage components exhausted by manufacturers in Changchun. Positive attitude, determination, perseverance, and integrity are all key traits of her character and she is confident that by acquiring greater knowledge, experience and skills, she can make a significant contribution to our society and to mankind.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Coleman Henry is pursuing his Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering after graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Wyoming. He is originally from Casper, WY where he graduated from Natrona County High School in 2004. After attending Black Hills State University for two years and where he studied biology/chemistry he transferred to the University of Wyoming in the fall of 2006 and majored in Chemical Engineering.
Coleman’s research will focus on characterizing organic, biological, and nanoparticle fouling in membrane systems. He will specifically focus on these processes in water reuse applications. Using this information he will develop and evaluate new chemical cleaning techniques for restoring the performance of macroporous membranes that have experienced these and other types of fouling.

Kigen K. Arap Limo was raised and attended primary and secondary school in Nairobi, Kenya. He is currently an undergraduate student in the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering at the University of Wyoming where his studies focus on Environmental Engineering. Kigen received an NSF EPSCoR Undergraduate Research Fellowship in 2009. His research focuses on characterizing and evaluating the performance of nanostructured ceramic membranes and associated fouling resistant surface coatings. The goal of his research is to develop next generation membranes that are both low fouling and more cost effective to operate (higher specific permeate flux, improved rejection efficiencies).
