Education: B.S. in Chemical Engineering, West Virginia University
Bio: Kaden Schreiber is a Chemical Engineering PhD student in the Boukouvala Lab, having joined the program in the Fall of 2025. His doctoral research is integrated with the NSF Center for Advancing Sustainable and Distributed Fertilizer Production (CASFER), where he specializes in hybrid modeling techniques that integrate physics-based principles with data-driven insights to advance process systems engineering and environmental sustainability.
Currently, Kaden is responsible for the modeling and control of electrocatalytic sludge reactors. By leveraging hybrid modeling frameworks, he works to capture complex reaction kinetics and transport phenomena that are difficult to characterize through traditional methods alone. His work aims to optimize nutrient recovery and chemical transformations within these systems, contributing to the development of modular and sustainable fertilizer production technologies.
Kaden earned his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from West Virginia University in the Spring of 2025. His academic background and research interests center on process modeling, advanced control strategies, and the application of computational tools to solve complex environmental challenges. When he’s not in the lab, you can find Kaden hiking, playing guitar/bass, or reading.
