Kalliat Valsaraj

In one of his books titled Elements of Environmental Engineering: Thermodynamics and Kinetics, he explored the applications of chemical thermodynamics and kinetics in environmental engineering, providing a multidisciplinary perspective on the theoretical foundations, limitations, and practical aspects involved in fate and transport modeling, pollution control design, and waste treatment processes. Valsaraj holds three patents, including developing a remediation method for dense nonaqueous-phase liquid contaminants in the Earth's subsurface. ==Awards and honors==
