Dr. Daniel E. Meeroff
Professor of Civil, Environmental & Geomatics Engineering
Lab.EES Director
Interim Dean of Undergraduate Studies

The supervisor of the Lab.EES, Dr. Daniel E. Meeroff, has a strong background in analytical instrumentation, water quality, environmental microbiology, and synthetic organic chemistry.

Since joining FAU, Dr. Meeroff has conducted research in water/wastewater technology development, environmental field monitoring, aquatic toxicity, water conservation, and environmental process modeling.

Dr. Meeroff works closely with local area consulting firms to assist in design of experiments and data evaluation for applications testing and providing scientific expertise to deal with environmental, engineering, and public health issues. Lab.EES has the built-in flexibility that is uniquely suited to this type of work, such as the capability to construct custom-designed experimental apparatus to meet the specific needs of the project.

Dr. Meeroff's research interests include developing innovative treatment technologies that mimic natural systems, specifically by applying physical/chemical and microbiological processes in novel approaches. His specialties involve the application of advanced principles of chemistry and microbiology for the solution and prevention of environmental problems.

 

Dr. Meeroff is an NCAA national champion soccer player (Florida Tech '91) and Florida Tech Sports Hall of Famer. Today he still coaches soccer for inner city youths in his spare time, and he also teaches the USASA National Amateur Soccer Coaching license course.
