Teaching
Dr. Ferro teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental engineering, air pollution, and human exposure analysis. She is the faculty advisor for the Clarkson environmental conservation organization (ECO) and the Clarkson student chapter of the American Association for Aerosol Research (AAAR).
Courses taught include:
CE/EV/BY313 - Biogeochemical Earth Systems
CE340 - Introduction to Environmental Engineering
CE477/577 - Atmospheric Chemistry (also listed as CM476/576, CH576)
CE491 - Senior Design (Water Resources/Environmental)
CE433/ES533 - Human Exposure Analysis
Research Interest
Dr. Ferro's research interests are in the areas of indoor air quality, fate and transport of pollutants in the built environment, resuspension of particulate matter, human exposure to pollutants, and exposure versus health effect relationships for nanoparticles and allergens/asthmagens. Current projects are described on Dr. Ferro’s research website.
