This is precisely why she was chosen as the interim director for Montana Technological University’s Center of Environmental Remediation and Assessment, said Angela Lueking, Montana Tech’s vice chancellor of research. Montana Tech’s CERA was established in 2000 with a focus on microbiology and water treatment, Bullock said. Lueking and former CERA director Kumar Ganesan wanted to jump-start the reimagining as quickly as possible, which is why they hired an interim director until they can go through the process to fill the role in a permanent capacity, Lueking said. All this experience informs her approach to CERA projects in unique ways. “They all have perspectives to also put into this research in what you would need to do in the field,” Bullock said.
