Collaborative Advisor
Dr. Tim Keener
Professor, Special Assistant for Industry Outreach
Office : 701B Engineering Research Center
E-mail : Tim.keener@uc.edu
Phone : (513)-556-3676
Fax : (513)-556-2599 |

Areas of Interest
Tim Keener is a Professor and member of the faculty of the School of Energy, Environmental, Biological and Medical Engineering of the college of Engineering and Applied Science of the University of Cincinnati. His research interests are in the areas of air pollution control and air quality management. He has extensively researched the prevention of formation, and control of pollutants from fossil-fueled fired power plants and other industrial sources. He has contributed to the development of methods for the measurement and control of air pollutants, including sulfur dioxide, nitric oxides, VOCs, CO2 and mercury. In addition, he has researched the evolution of pollutants from the combustion of fossil fuels, the formation and control of odors, and developed innovative methods of measuring air pollution emissions from industrial sources. He is currently involved in the development of cost effective methods for separating CO2 from flue gases, and the evaluation of algae as a source of biodiesel. |
