Dr. Higgins (PhD, Stanford University) is an associate professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering department at Colorado School of Mines. His research focuses on the fate, transport, and bioaccumulation of emerging contaminants in aquatic and terrestrial systems. Current research projects are examining the potential for bioaccumulation of organic contaminants (including pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and perfluorochemicals) into foodcrops from reclaimed water; the bioaccumulation of organic contaminants from biosolids-amended soils; the fate of perfluorochemicals in groundwater systems, particularly in the presence of co-contaminants; the development of analytical methods for the detection and quantification of inorganic nanoparticles in environmental and biological media; and the fate of organic contaminants in wastewater treatment plants.
