Leslie Shor Personal Website Dr. Leslie Shor, has a dual affiliation with the Chemical Engineering Program and the Center for Environmental Science & Engineering (CESE). Prior to joining UConn, Dr. Shor was a Research Assistant Professor at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Shor received her M.A. and Ph.D. in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. She maintains vigorous research relating directly to environmental and bioengineering. She has focused on how micro-scale structures of soil and sediment impacts particle-scale contaminant desorption and bioavailability, with current work focusing on the environmental impacts of nanoparticles. Recent work has developed the EcoChip, a micro-structured microbial habitat array. This research employs microfluidic devices and a systems biology approach to develop integrated instrumentation to better understand microbial communities important in many medical and energy-related applications.
