Sahar El Abbadi

I am an environmental engineer interested in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from food and water systems, through a combination of modeling and experimental approaches. My current work involves modeling emissions from water and wastewater treatment systems and strategies for abatement. Prior to joining LBL, I was at Stanford University where I completed my PhD and post-doctoral research. My work there included techno-economic modeling to evaluate how methane-consuming bacteria could serve as an aquaculture feed, offsetting demand for over-harvested fishmeal. As a postdoc at Stanford, I conducted field research to evaluate the performance of methane sensing airplanes, satellites, and ground-sensors through single-blind controlled release testing.
