Biography

Hope Hauptman, Ph.D., is an environmental scientist with expertise in water quality and sustainability. Her dissertation research addressed drinking water contamination in California's Central Valley, including applying machine learning to analyze 1,2,3-Trichloropropane (TCP) contamination and evaluating the use of point-of-use filters and almond shell biochar for TCP removal. She has also investigated the effects of urbanization on the Argan forest and the sustainability of Argan oil production in Morocco. Before pursuing her academic career, Hope taught high school science and served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Kenya. She holds a B.S. in Microbiology and Molecular Genetics from UCLA, a Secondary Science Teaching Credential from UC Davis, an M.S. in Instructional Science and Technology from California State University, Monterey Bay, and a Ph.D. in Environmental Systems from UC Merced. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, gardening, cooking, and solving crossword puzzles.
