A lot of cool things have happened, so let\u2019s start with the most exciting piece of news first: we hired an environmental chemist!<\/p>\n<p>A long, long time ago, when I was hired to Trinity College I was told that \u201c\u2026 and next year we\u2019ll hire an Environmental Chemist\u201d. 17 years and three proposals to the Educational Policy Committee later we finally succeeded. Last fall we advertised for a tenure-track position in environmental chemistry to be split between the Environmental Science Program and the Chemistry Department. We selected Arianne Bazilio from a very strong candidate pool, and we are really excited that she accepted our offer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2018\/03\/Arianne_Bazilio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1570\" src=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2018\/03\/Arianne_Bazilio.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2018\/03\/Arianne_Bazilio.jpg 700w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2018\/03\/Arianne_Bazilio-300x214.jpg 300w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2018\/03\/Arianne_Bazilio-600x429.jpg 600w, http:\/\/commons.trincoll.edu\/envs\/files\/2018\/03\/Arianne_Bazilio-420x300.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a>Arianne is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Civil &amp; Environmental Engineering at The University of Texas at San Antonio, where she works on various projects involving the use of nanotechnology in water quality monitoring, as well as physiochemical interactions of contaminants to the built environment. She holds a PhD in environmental engineering from the University of Massachusetts \u2013 Amherst, where she studied the role of manganese oxide in the formation of disinfection byproducts in drinking water treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Arianne has also been a visiting instructor at Bates College where she taught various chemistry courses and supervised independent study projects and a senior thesis. Arianne will co-teach ENVS 375 (Methods) together with Amber in the fall and during the spring semester she will offer a course on environmental chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re looking forward to welcoming Arianne in the summer or fall. Her office will be in Clement, so make sure to say hello!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last few months were a little bit busy, which is reflected in the absence of recent blog posts.
