Kirin Emlet Furst, in Mason's Department of Civil, Environmental, and Infrastructure Engineering, is using funds from an NSF CAREER award to measure the amounts of harmful "forever" chemicals in drinking water.

A Mason team including a high school student, a postdoctoral scholar, and a mechanical engineering professor has developed a way to use spent coffee grounds to remove diverse contaminants from water.

Kirin Furst believes a systems approach is the best way to solve the world’s safe water problems. Her research lab is primarily focused on removing organic contaminants in drinking water systems and potable reuse systems.
