Cindy Weng

Cindy is an Environmental Engineering Ph.D. candidate from Oakland, CA. Her research focuses on developing electrochemical water treatment technologies to increase the resiliency of and reduce the environmental impacts of water treatment. In her previous research, she developed an electrochemical dechlorination technology for wastewater treatment and an electrochemical advanced oxidation process for potable reuse, both of which provided a cost- and energy-efficient alternative to current industry standards. 

Cindy completed her B.S. at Carnegie Mellon, where her research included pesticide degradation via an oxidation catalyst, flood frequency modelling of the Paraguay River, and groundwater remediation. Cindy is the recipient of the Stanford JEDI Award and Carnegie Mellon's H. A. Thomas Sr. Distinguished Service Award. In her free time, she enjoys volunteering at College Track, skiing, bouldering, ice skating, cooking, and reading.
