Introducing Jennifer Dougherty (Jen)...
My research focuses on the fate of emerging organic contaminants originating form onsite sewage systems impacting the coastal zone. I have worked in Puget Sound, Washington and have begun work at Stinson Beach, California. The contaminants I have focused on thus far include a wide range of pharmaceutical classes as well as personal care products and herbicides.
I spent a number of years working before deciding to return to school to pursue graduate work in an area different from my background in the hopes of merging the strengths of science and engineering. In the future I think I would like to put this combintion to work in the non-profit sector. Besides my research I am a dedicated practitioner of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois's Ashtanga Yoga..
