William A. Tarpeh is an Assistant Professor of Chemical Engineering at Stanford University.[1] Tarpeh was among Forbes' 30 under 30 - Science 2019 list.[2][3] Tarpeh's work has been featured in short videos by the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation,[4] Interesting Engineering,[5] and the University of California, Berkeley.[6]
Education[edit]
Tarpeh obtained his BS in chemical engineering at Stanford University in 2012, and his MS and PhD in environmental engineering at University of California, Berkeley (in 2013 and 2017, respectively).[7]
Honors[edit]
Tarpeh was named among the Forbes 30 under 30 - Science 2019.[2][3] In 2016, Tarpeh was named by NBC in its NBCBLK28, as one of 28 African American innovators under the age of 28.[8][9][10] Tarpeh is a Cooke Young Scholar and College Scholar of the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.[11] Tarpeh also won Jeopardy Kids Week at the age of twelve.[12]
Research[edit]
Tarpeh conducts research in global sanitation in the field of development engineering,[13] to recover resources from wastewater,[3] turning waste chemicals into products such as fertilizers and disinfectants and cleaning the water in the process.[14] During his PhD work, he developed a method for creating fertilizer by extracting nitrogen from urine and combining it with water.[3] Tarpeh continues to engineer new chemical processes to extract nutrients from urine and is considered a burgeoning leader in his field.[15]
