    Three themes of mentoring philosophies:
    1) Believing quality is more important than quantity in terms of productivity for both the mentor and the mentee
    2) Encouraging growth through challenges 
    3) Developing a relationship founded on mutual respect

  overall_research_project_description: 'Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of synthetic chemicals that have attracted significant public attention due to their toxicity, widespread use in commercial and consumer products, and recalcitrance to degradation in the environment.  PFAS is ubiquitous in solid waste.  To prevent solid waste in landfills contaminating groundwater and air, landfills are usually contained by bottom liners and covers.  The objective of this project is to determine the PFAS transport characteristics through the bottom liners and covers such as the breakthrough time.  We welcome one UROP scholar to participate in this research project.  Professor Tang and his graduate student will supervise the UROP scholar.  The graduate student will provide most of the direct supervision.  '

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: |
    The UROP scholar is expected to:
    1)	Complete a few lab safety training sessions.
    2)	Shadow the graduate student.
    3)	Review the literature to understand PFAS and their contamination.
    4)	Learn the method based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for measuring one type of PFAS.
    5)	Use the measurement method to determine the PFAS transport characteristics in diffusion cells.
    6)	Summarize and discuss the research results in a poster and a white paper. 

    After the UROP project is completed, there may be an opportunity for the UROP scholar to further develop and optimize the method for measuring more types of PFAS through undergraduate or graduate research assistantship.
