Francois Perreault
Featured mentor, FURI
Faculty, Arizona State University
Dr. Perreault has been exceptional at providing not only the proper feedback but also encourages problem-solving when it comes to problems faced in the lab. I believe working on this research with him has not only brought me more understanding about sustainable water treatments but a more diverse knowledge about sustainable systems in general. Dr. Perreault has helped me grow not only as a researcher but an engineer as well.
