Dr. Natalie Hull is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the department of Civil Engineering at Boise State University. Prior, Dr. Hull was an Assistant Professor in the department of Civil, Environmental, and Geodetic Engineering at the Ohio State University where she continues her affiliation as an Adjunct Assistant Professor. Her research focuses on microbial aspects of water treatment, especially by UV light, with focus areas on viral pathogens such as SARS-CoV-2, opportunistic pathogens such as mycobacteria, antibiotic resistant bacteria, water quality issues in rural areas, and water reuse. Dr. Hull earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Kentucky, where she investigated microbial aspects of slow sand filtration. She earned an MS in Civil Engineering with Environmental Specialization from the University of Colorado Boulder, investigating immune effects of engineered nanoparticles, and a PhD in Environmental Engineering investigating mechanisms and sustainability of UV water treatment. Her post-graduate research in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Environmental Engineering at CU Boulder focused on microbiomes of fracking wastewater and microbiomes of drinking water treatment and distribution systems.
