system design features for land developers in the Philadelphia area, focusing on the inclusion of an internal water storage layer and the use of biochar as a media amendment for the system. Bioretention systems are basins engineered with different soil media layers to control stormwater runoff flow and remove inorganic nutrients and metals. My proposal suggests that bioretention systems with biochar amended soil and IWS layers are expected to mitigate higher concentrations of pollutants and higher volumes of water, which prevents polluted runoff from overwhelming Philadelphia\u2019s combined sewer systems and local aquatic ecosystems.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4f07b206 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4f07b206\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eaf830b\" data-id=\"eaf830b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a48baab elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"6a48baab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1781\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1781\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">About Willow<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1781\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1781\"><p><b>What is your major and expected year of graduation?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I am a bioengineering major expected to graduate in 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background);font-size: var(--typography_size_html)\">What inspired you to pursue your project?&nbsp;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>While I am a bioengineering major, I am also pursuing a minor in environmental engineering because I am interested in researching microbial processes, especially in engineered systems.<\/p><p>In 2021, I was working in Dr. McKenzie\u2019s Environmental Engineering Research lab, testing how copper pollution affects microbial denitrification in bioretention systems designed with or without sorbent biochar media and an internal water storage layer. Then, in the fall of 2021, I took Dr. Keston\u2019s technical communication course. The major course paper was a partial proposal for an engineering solution to a problem based on literary findings. I decided that I wanted to expand upon my knowledge of bioretention system design that I had gained while working in Dr. McKenzie&#8217;s lab by researching bioretention system design features and writing a proposal that would focus on optimizing microbial denitrification in bioretention systems built in urban areas that experience high metal and nitrogen pollution loads and flooding.<\/p>\n<p><b style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background);font-size: var(--typography_size_html)\">What does winning this award mean to you? <\/b><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background);font-size: var(--typography_size_html)\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I am honored that Temple University Libraries has chosen me to receive this award.

I used this guide to find articles, design manuals, and textbooks to fill in the gap in my understanding of bioretention systems.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5ebdcb35 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5ebdcb35\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7aab4b35\" data-id=\"7aab4b35\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-45b2b12e elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"45b2b12e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1161\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1161\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">From Willow's faculty advisor<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1161\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1161\"><p>Researchers in engineering face two challenges: to solve an immediate problem in a particular context and to more broadly contribute to the field. Drawing from a wide range of scholarly sources, strategically supplemented with commercial and municipal documents, Willow Neske meets both goals, proposing a solution that the Philadelphia Water Department could implement now to protect the local environment and that other cities and researchers could use as a template for future work. In the months over which she completed her project, Willow asked hard questions about her own assumptions and continually rethought her ideas, crafting a paper that clearly walks readers through the process of analyzing alternative solutions and choosing the best fit.<\/p><p><b style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background);font-size: var(--typography_size_html)\">\u2014<\/b><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background)\"><b>Geoff Keston<\/b><span><span>,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: var(--color_content_background)\">Adjunct Assistant Professor, College of Engineering<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-69cb0755 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"69cb0755\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4ae4a384\" data-id=\"4ae4a384\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-445135a6 elementor-alert-info elementor-widget elementor-widget-alert\" data-id=\"445135a6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"alert.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-alert\" role=\"alert\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-alert-title\">About the Award in STEM<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-alert-description\"><br>This category covers research methods used in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
