About Me

Suna’s research investigates the potential impacts of stormwater runoff on receiving water bodies, with a focus on urban streams. She conducts water and sediment sampling across three urban waterways to analyze a range of substances, including organic micropollutants, microplastics, metals, and nutrients. Her work aims to improve understanding of if/how stormwater discharges impact water and sediment quality in urban environments.

Suna became a part of the Urban Water Engineering group in April 2022. She holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from Dokuz Eylul University in Turkey. She furthered her education with an M.Sc. in Environmental Engineering, specializing in environmental modeling and water resources, from Drexel University in Philadelphia, USA.
