Michael K. Stenstrom is a Distinguished Professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department.
His research and teaching are in the environmental engineering area with emphasis on biological treatment methods and applications of computing technologies to environmental engineering research, especially in the area of aertion and energy conservation. Over the past 25 years he has performed research to characterize stormwater and minimize its impacts on the environment. Most recently he has performed research on the fate of antibiotic-resistant genes in wastewater treatment processes. He continues to consult with agencies who wish to improve their wastewater treatment processes, especially for the high-purity oxygen activated sludge process.
He has had several administrative positions in at UCLA including Chair of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department (8 years), Assistant Dean for Computing Resources (5 years), Associate Dean for Research and Facilities (2 years) and director of the Institue for the Environment and Sustainability (2 years). He developed the SEASnet Computing Facility and in the 1980's chaired the task force that created the campus network.
