The Society for the Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) recently hosted a webinar with Cherie De Vore, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical & Environmental Engineering at the University of Arizona.
The webinar focused on Creating Pathways for Indigenous Environmental Engineers.
De Vore received her Ph.D. in civil & environmental engineering at the University of New Mexico.
She was later awarded a National Science Foundation Earth Science Postdoctoral Fellowship to conduct research at Stanford University.
She also worked as an associate postdoctoral fellow at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, investigating the colloidal transport of metals in the Floodplain Hydro-Biogeochemistry research focus group.
Currently, her research focuses on biogeochemical processes related to water, energy, and health that impact the cycle and treatment of metals and nutrients in the environment, particularly in Native communities.
Dr. De Vore is the first and only Native faculty member in the College of Engineering at Arizona and is a member of the Indigenous Resilience Center.
She looks forward to collaborating with her community and other tribes on environmental restoration research.
