Chloe Thomas

Chloe is a PhD Student in Biosystems Engineering and graduate researcher in Dr. Yoon’s Biosensor Lab. Her research focuses on detecting contaminants in water using microfluidic chips and computer vision. She is currently designing a system utilizing this technology to detect and identify PFAS in water. She will be working with Tucson water over the course of this project. Recently, she received the One Health fellowship to fund this research. One Health is a University of Arizona initiative that aims to achieve optimal health outcomes by recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. Over the summer she works as a research engineer at Biosphere II. In this position she has worked on designing and installing remote sensing systems to aid research objectives. Prior to coming to University of Arizona, Chloe helped with sustainability projects in Argentina in underserved communities with the 100,000 Strong in the America’s grant. Chloe holds a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin – Platteville.
