Suna Ekin Kali

About Me

Suna’s research investigates the potential impacts of stormwater runoff on receiving water bodies, covering a range of chemical and ecological effects. She conducts water and sediment sampling across urban streams and analyzes contaminants of emerging concern, conventional pollutants, toxicity, and biodiversity. Her work aims to improve understanding of whether and how stormwater discharges affect water and sediment quality in urban streams.

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.
