Dr. Kennetg Reardon joined the department of chemical and bio engineering in 1988 after a year of postdoctoral research at the Universitat Hannover as an Alexander Von Humboldt Fellow. Since that time he has developed a research program in four areas. Most of his group's work is environmental biotechnology, particularly bioremediation. The goals of these projects are to improve our understanding of microbial degradation of hazardous compounds (often with the use of molecular biological and proteomic methods) and to develop better processes for cleanup of contaminated air, water and soil. A second research topic is the design of biosensors for environmental contaminants and toxicity. In collaboration with colleagues in Environmental Health Dr. Reardon conducts research in the area of quantitative toxicology. His fourth research topic is the development of innovative bioreactor strategies for products such as biosurfactants. Dr. Reardon holds joint appointments in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Pathology and the Department of Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences. Professor Reardon is seeking the multidiscplinary approach on sustainable Bioenergy. He is helping organize a symposium at CSU in March 2010 on science education and issues related to multidisciplinary approaches.
