EVEN Professor Karl Linden's alumni听Sara Beck who graduated from CU-Boulder with听a Ph. D. in听environmental engineering, researcher in water reuse and micro/molecular biology at听Eawag Research,听听and Natalie Hull who is an environmental engineering PhD candidate (expected 2018), along with a few of their colleagues, recently had a paper accepted by Environmental Science & Technology, a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The publication is about how UV light not only causes damage to the DNA/RNA of pathogens, but some wavelengths also damage viral proteins.
