Sustainable Soil Construction: Engineers Canada profile of Dr. Sumi Siddiqua

September 6, 2024

Dr. Sumi SiddiquaEngineers Canada recently profiled School of Engineering Civil Engineering Professor Dr. Sumi Siddiqua.

Dr. Sumi Siddiqua’s research on soil micro-organisms is paving the way for new geomaterials with significantly lower carbon dioxide emissions than traditional materials used in the construction industry. She’s also working to keep our groundwater safe by finding more effective ways to stop microplastics in landfills from moving into water systems.

I’m training the next generation of engineers with a skill set focused on clean technology and climate resilient infrastructure.

“Our overall goal is to support the geo-environmental engineering related research targeting climate change,” said Dr. Siddiqua. “I’m training the next generation of engineers with a skill set focused on clean technology and climate resilient infrastructure. That means it’s not only a small number of people that are directly impacted, but also it is impacting the community and society in large.”
