Mitch received a B.A. in Anthropology (Archaeology) from Harvard
University in 1993. During his studies, he excavated at Mayan sites in
Belize and surveyed sites dating from 2,000 B.C. in Louisiana. He
switched fields by receiving a M.S. degree in Civil and Environmental
Engineering at UC Berkeley. He worked for 3 years in environmental
consulting, receiving his P.E. license in Civil Engineering in California.
Returning to UC Berkeley in 2000, he
received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering in 2003. He
moved to Yale as an assistant professor after graduation. His dissertation
received the AEESP Outstanding
Doctoral Dissertation Award in 2004. At
Yale, he serves as the faculty advisor for the Yale Student Chapter of
Engineers without Borders.
This year, he was awarded a NSF CAREER Award.
Employing a fundamental understanding of organic chemical reaction pathways, his research explores links between public health, engineering and sustainability. Topics of current interest include:
