Tianhong Mu
UAlbany Department of Environmental and Sustainable Engineering
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Environmental Engineering at the University at Albany, State University of New York. My research focuses on removing PFAS from water and conducting life cycle assessments (LCA) of sustainable food systems. As part of the Capital Region FRESH project, led by UAlbany researchers Beth Feingold and Xiaobo Xue Romeiko, my LCA work assessed the changes in dietary environmental impacts during COVID-19 in the New York State Capital Region. Currently, I am working on establishing food decay curves using data mining and machine learning based on previous studies, after which I will develop an LCA model based on these findings.
