Emese Hadnagy is an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at the School of Engineering and Technology at the University of Washington Tacoma (UWT), where besides doing research she teaches undergraduate civil engineering students about water resources and environmental engineering and serves as the Chair of the newly established BS Civil Engineering program (Autumn 2022 start). Dr. Hadnagy obtained her B.S. and M.Sc. in Civil Engineering from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (Budapest, Hungary), and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Environmental Engineering focus) from the University of New Hampshire (Durham, NH). Prior to joining UWT, Dr. Hadnagy was an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of New Haven (West Haven, CT) where she also served as the Director of the fully online and the on-ground MS Environmental Engineering programs. Dr. Hadnagy has a broad interest in surface water quality issues and in environmental pollution prevention and hazard mitigation in water and related matrices and the common thread of her research is to understand physicochemical processes that control the fate, transport, and remediation of environmental contaminants as well as the associated hydrologic processes. Dr. Hadnagy has worked on projects related to surface water quality monitoring, specifically focused on low-cost, in-situ sensors. Some of her most recent interests include the use of real-time monitoring techniques to better understand climate change induced impacts on surface water quality, with a special focus on water bodies that serve as a drinking water source.
