Dennis D. Lane is the N.T. Veatch Distinguished Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Kansas. He came to KU over twenty years ago after receiving his PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana. Professor Lane’s teaching interests include design of air pollution control equipment, air quality management, physical principles of environmental engineering and environmental management. His research interests include the environmental impacts of atmospheric deposition; development of particle monitoring devices; source-receptor relationships associated with atmospheric deposition; noncriteria air pollution monitoring, development of standard operating procedures for the sampling and analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in ambient air; bioaerosol detection and identification; and study of mobile source air pollution emissions in metropolitan areas. Dr. Lane’s major fields of specialization are air pollution control, ambient air monitoring, and aerosol science. Research sponsors include NSF, U.S. EPA, NASA, and various commercial sources. Dr. Lane has received the U.S. EPA Bronze Medal for research; and he served as a member of the Board of Scientific Counselors for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry for six years.
