Noah studied the effects that photo, chemical, and thermal stresses have on the degradation of various polymer types used for water storage and transport, such as water bottles, water storage tanks and plumbing pipes. In particular, he observed how these stresses influence the migration rates of potentially harmful organic compounds into drinking water supplies, with emphasis on possible health effects from ingestion.
Noah received his master's degree from the Technical University of Denmark, and worked for seven years in the field of renewable biofuel process design. He is particularly interested in developing sustainable technologies around energy and fuel production, and better designing bioprocesses which can be applied at both industrial and local scales. He is a currently a chemical engineer living in Denver, Colorado.
