Hi, I am Mary Foltz (she/her), an assistant professor of Environmental Engineering at Oklahoma State University and PI of this research group. I am a Professional Engineer (PE) licensed in the state of Oklahoma, Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP), and hold PhD and MS degrees in Environmental Engineering (from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) and BS degree in Environmental Science (from Indiana University Bloomington). I am happily married and have two curious children. My hobbies include walking, yoga, reading, and playing games.

My family is the central part of my identity and shapes how I interact with others and the world. I consider my research group an extension of my family and welcome each student as they are, with unique personalities and experiences that contribute to our overall group dynamic. Communication, honesty, and respect are critical areas emphasized in my professional and personal life. Below you can find information about the current and past members of the research group!
