Associate Professor
University of South Carolina
Shamia Hoque received her PhD from Drexel University in Environmental Engineering in 2010 and was an ORISE post-doctoral fellow at EPA from 2012 to 2013. She is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of South Carolina where she joined in January 2014. Her work intersects the fields of environmental engineering, fluid dynamics, infectious disease transport and air pollution control. The focus is on understanding the physical, chemical and biological mechanisms governing the fate and transport of contaminants in built spaces – towards achieving the 5Ys – safetY, securitY, sustainabilitY, and energY efficiencY. She has 12 years of expertise in computational and experimental investigation of fluid flow, contaminant transport in environmental systems and in building user friendly predictive integrated frameworks and design tools. Her research also targets discovering novel pathways leading towards sustainable end of life and innovative technologies. Her work in discovering novel environmental applications of novel plasma systems for the removal of trace contaminants from landfill gas have led to EPA P3 (people, prosperity and planet) award, phase 1. Her work was also one of the first to connect outputs of fundamental simulations with exposure analysis and has published in high impact factor journals. She has developed transport-based models assessing the effectiveness of intervention strategies in school buildings. and through factorial design showed the possibilities of applying the microbiome knowledge for building design. She received the AEESP foundation award for educating microbiome, indoor environmental quality and building design and the prestigious Level III Science and Technology Achievement Award (STAA), from EPA.
