Dr. Tarek Aziz
Dr. Aziz is interested in the interface of environmental process engineering and energy. This includes topics such as the conversion of waste materials to fuel (anaerobic digestion, biofuels, waste incineration, gasification, etc), and sustainability considerations of these, and more traditional, processes. To help explore these research questions he makes use of experimentation, computational fluid dynamics, and life-cycle assessment tools.
- PhD, Civil Engineering, North Carolina State University

Dr. Aziz is a joined NC State in January 2010 after completing his doctoral research. He is now a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering. Dr. Aziz is part of the Water Resources and Environmental Engineering group within the CCEE department and teaches Introduction to Environmental Engineering, Hydraulics, the Hydraulic Systems Measurement Lab, Hydrology and Introduction to Environmental Engineering.
Dr. Aziz's research is interested in using environmental fluid mechanics to improve process design for energy generating waste treatment processes. He uses both experimental and computational tools to investigate this process performance. In addition Dr. Aziz is very interested in the holistic system in which those wastes are treated. As a result some of his research efforts are also spent on the development and use of life-cycle analysis (LCA) tools for "waste-to-energy" processes.
