ABSTRACT
Jennifer M. Olszewski is currently a PhD candidate in civil and environmental engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park. She received both her undergraduate and Master of Science degrees in the same program at UMD, graduating with honors. Her MS research concentrated on comparing the hydrologic performance of a local bioretention cell with that of a nearby forested stream. A²er completing her MS degree, Jennifer worked with the US Department of Agriculture and a local wastewater treatment plant in analyzing the persistence of hormones and antibacterials in biosolids. She is currently developing a wetland model as part of her PhD project. £e goal of this research is to formulate a process-based model that will enable engineers to design more e§cient and more e¥ective constructed wetlands.
