Professor Walter Weber has been teaching and leading research at the University of Michigan for over 40 years and has advised over 75 doctoral students.Currently, he is focusing on the development, refinement, and quantification of process dynamics in environmental systems, including processes for water and wastewater treatment, and processes in rivers, lakes, estuaries, and ground waters. He also continues to work on the development of advanced technologies for industrial and municipal water and wastewater treatment, hazardous waste treatment and disposal, pollution control, and water reclamation and reuse. Before joining the faculty at Michigan in 1963, Professor Weber was a postdoctoral research associate at Harvard University. He earned a PhD in1962 in Water Resources Engineering and an MA in Environmental Chemistry in 1961 from Harvard. He received an MSE in 1959 in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Rutgers University, and a ScB in 1956 in Chemical Engineering from Brown University. Professor Weber was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1985 and is the recipient of numerous awards and honors. He received the National Water Research Institute's Athalie Richardson Irvine Clarke Prize (1996), the Water Pollution Control Federation's Gordon Maskew Fair Medal (1990), the Association of Environmental Engineering Professors' Distinguished Lecturer Award (1990), the American Water Works Association's Academic Achievement Award (1989, the Governing Board of State Universities, State of Michigan's Distinguished Faculty Award (1989), the Association of Environmental Engineering Professors Outstanding Paper Award (1989), the Water Pollution Control Federation's Thomas R. Camp Medal (1988), the University of Michigan's Stephen S. Attwood Award for Engineering Excellence (1987), the International Association on Water Pollution Research and Control's Founder's Publication Award (1987), the American Society of Civil Engineers' G. Brooks Earnest Award (1985), the American Chemical Society's F.J. Zimmerman Award (1982), the Water Pollution Control Federation's Willard F. Shephard Award (1980), and the University of Michigan's Research Excellence Award (1980). Professor Weber has authored or coauthored four books and more than 300 journal articles and book chapters.
