Yasemin Kunukcu is a Technical Director at Roux in Somerset, New Jersey. She has more than eighteen years of environmental consulting experience focusing on design, implementation, and management of site-specific in situ soil and groundwater remediation technologies, including Enhanced In Situ Bioremediation (EISB), In Situ Chemical Reduction (ISCR), In Situ Chemical Oxidation (ISCO), In Situ Thermal Treatment (ISTT), biosparging, bioslurping, and bioventing for numerous multi-faceted environmental remediation projects with a wide range of contaminants, including chlorinated solvents, chromium, petroleum hydrocarbons, emerging contaminants (PFAS, 1,4-Dioxane, etc.).
She participated extensively in the Interstate Technology and Regulatory Council (ITRC) Optimizing Injection Strategies and In Situ Remediation, PFAS, and Microplastics teams, and the Natural Groundwater Association (NGWA) PFAS team during the development of the guidance documents as a co-leader/writer. She is currently serving on the ITRC PFAS and Microplastics teams.
Yasemin holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and is a registered PE in New York.
