Environmental Efforts Bring University Fellow to MGE

Junmo Ahn

First-year doctoral student Junmo Ahn intends to improve sustainability efforts in the mining industry, thanks in part to support from the UA Graduate College's University Fellows program. As part of the program's 2016-2017 cohort, he will study how biotechnology can reduce the environmental effects of mining waste while also extracting valuable resources.

Ahn holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from Konkuk University and a master’s degree in civil and environmental engineering from Seoul National University.
