Ezgi (she/her) has an incredibly impressive resume: she holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemistry and a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering. She’s now doing a postdoc at Waterloo, with a focus on mitigation of greenhouse gases from sewer systems.  

As we celebrate UN World Water Day on March 22, I thought she’d be the perfect feature for this month’s Sustainability Story.
