Dr. Dan Cassidy is professor of environmental engineering, site remediation and waste treatment. Dr. Cassidy is also the director of the graduate and undergraduate certificate programs in applied hydrogeology in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Â鶹´«Ã½.

Cassidy focuses on understanding the biogeochemical processes controlling degradation of halogenated hydrocarbons in natural groundwater systems. Using a combination of laboratory and field measurement techniques, he applies geochemical and engineering expertise to better assess the long term fate and transport of organic pollutants in the environment.
