Bridger Ruyle

Bridger Ruyle is a Research Assistant Professor of environmental engineering in the Civil and Urban Engineering (CUE) Department at New York University Tandon School of Engineering. As of summer 2025, he will become an Assistant Professor in CUE. 

His research explores how human activity, the biosphere, and climate change affect water quality. Specifically, research foci in the Ruyle lab include developing analytical tools to quantify chemical contamination in environmental media and associated uncertainty, understanding biogeochemistry and impacts of fluorinated chemicals including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, i.e. forever chemicals) and pharmaceuticals, and integrating in-situ and remote sensing data to assess climate impacts on water quality.
