Dr. Carbonaro’s affiliation with Manhattan University began as an undergraduate as he completed both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Manhattan. After completing his doctorate at Johns Hopkins University in 2004, he became an assistant professor of Environmental Engineering at Manhattan. Currently he is a professor of chemical engineering and the Associate Dean of the School of Engineering at Manhattan University.
His current research interests include: chemical fate and transport in natural and engineered systems, remediation of soils and sediments, in situ groundwater remediation and geochemical redox cycling of metals. At Manhattan University, he has managed several externally-funded research projects related to chromium redox transformations, water quality monitoring of urban pollutants, modeling of metals in the environment for risk assessment, and partitioning of metals onto organic carbon.
