Nigerian engineering student works in Detroit to improve green infrastructure and environmental sustainability

Kate Ekhator, a 2nd year T-RUST PhD student in Civil Engineering, was featured in the WSU Office of International Programs newsletter this month.

Hailing from Nigeria, Kate brings a wealth of knowledge to our program having worked in the oil and gas industry and bringing expertise in water management. Her interdisciplinary project with T-RUST focuses on characterizing stormwater contamination throughout Detroit, and she is working with an anthropologist and communication student to understand risk and mitigation strategies.
