About the AuthorsMackenzie L. Davis is an Emeritus Professor of Environmental Engineering at Michigan
State University. He received all his degrees from the University of Illinois. From 1968 to 1971
he served as a Captain in the U.S. Army Medical Services Corps. During his military service he
conducted air pollution surveys at Army ammunition plants. From 1971 to 1973 he was branch
chief of the Environmental Engineering Branch at the U.S. Army Construction Engineering
Research Laboratory. His responsibilities included supervision of research on air, noise, and
water pollution control and solid waste management for Army facilities. In 1973 he joined the
faculty at Michigan State University. He has taught and conducted research in the areas of air
pollution control and hazardous waste management.
In 1987 and 1989–1992, under an intergovernmental personnel assignment with the Office of
SolidWaste of the U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency,Dr. Davis performed technology assessments
of treatment methods used to demonstrate the regulatory requirements for the land disposal
restrictions (“land ban”) promulgated under the Hazardous and SolidWaste Amendments.
Dr. Davis is a member of the following professional organizations: American Chemical
Society; American Institute of Chemical Engineers; American Society for Engineering Education;
American Meteorological Society; American Society of Civil Engineers; American Water
Works Association; Air & Waste Management Association; Association of Environmental Engineering
& Science Professors; and the Water Environment Federation.
His honors and awards include the State-of-the-Art award from the A.S.C.E., chapter honor
member of Chi Epsilon, Sigma Xi, and election as a Diplomate in the American Academy of
Environmental Engineers with certification in hazardous waste management. He has received
teaching awards from the American Society of Civil Engineers Student Chapter, Michigan State
University College of Engineering, North Central Section of the American Society for Engineering
Education, Great Lakes Region of Chi Epsilon, and the AMOCO Corporation. He is a registered
professional engineer in Illinois and Michigan.
In 2003, Dr. Davis retired from Michigan State University.
Susan J. Masten is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at
Michigan State University. She received her Ph.D. in environmental engineering from Harvard
University in 1986. She worked for several years in environmental research before joining the
MSU faculty in 1989, including at the US Environmental Protection Agency Kerr Laboratory, in
Ada, Oklahoma. Professor Masten’s research involves the use of chemical oxidants for the
remediation of soils, water, and wastewater. Her research is presently focused on the use of ozone
for reducing the concentration of disinfection by-products in drinking water, controlling fouling
in membranes, and reducing the toxicity of ozonation by-products formed from the ozonation of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and pesticides. She also has research projects involving the
use of ozone for the reduction of odor in swine manure slurry and the elimination of chlorinated
hydrocarbons and semivolatile organic chemicals from soils using in-situ ozone stripping and
ozone sparging.
Dr. Masten is a member of the following professional organizations: American Chemical
Society, International Ozone Association, American Water Works Association and the American
Society for Engineering Education. She has been on the Executive Committee of the MSU Chapter
of the American Chemical Society since 1995.
Professor Masten was a Lilly Teaching Fellow during the 1994–1995 academic year. She is
also the recipient of the Withrow Distinguished Scholar Award, College of Engineering, MSU,
March 1995, and the Teacher-Scholar Award, Michigan State University, February 1996.
Dr. Masten was also a member of the Faculty Writing Project, Michigan State University, May
1996. In 2001, she was awarded the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science
Professors/Wiley Interscience Outstanding Educator Award.
Dr. Masten is a registered professional engineer in the state of Michigan.
