Establishing the Sustainability of Banksia Gardens Community Centre’s Science Education Program
This project established the sustainability of - Banksia Gardens Community Centre's science education program, which aims to increase interest in science-based careers in the underprivileged community of Broadmeadows. We created a research- based framework for sustainable programs based on seven principles: vision, community needs, adaptability, program results, partnerships, funding, and leadership. We contributed to five of these by stating a vision, identifying key community needs, exploring the feasibility of bringing the program to schools, developing three program versions, and establishing two partnerships

Reducing Trihalomethane Levels in Drinking Water
The goal of this project was to reduce trihalomethane precursors (organic carbon) in municipal drinking water for regulatory compliance. A bench scale filtration column with Greensand, GreensandPlus, and/or anthracite media was designed to mimic treatment plant conditions. Experiments were conducted to evaluate changes to process variables, including chlorine dose, pH, and coagulant dose. Based on results and literature research, it was recommended that the treatment plant upgrade to GreensandPlus and reduce the pre-chlorination dose to optimize organic carbon removal
