Biography

Emily Julien’s research focus has been pathogen risks arising from in-building plumbing. This includes quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA) for pathogens such as Legionella spp., identifying variables associated with elevated pathogen risks, and modeling in-building plumbing to assess hydraulic retention time. Emily also has diverse work experiences, ranging from private consulting in oil and gas remediation to work in state government preparing air permits. Emily previously managed a wastewater sampling effort on MSU’s campus to monitor the prevalence of SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID19. Emily is currently working to develop a risk-informed decision framework to prioritize legacy and emerging contaminants for a large drinking water supplier.
