- Ph.D. Students: Advisor to 20 Ph.D. students, 19 of whom completed the Ph.D. degree with one additional Ph.D. student in progress at UT Austin (now officially supervised by Professor Atila Novoselac but with significant input by me).
Past Ph.D. students have remained active in research and practice, including positions at Iowa State University, Penn State University, Portland State University, National University of Kaohsiung (Taiwan), National Institute of Standards & Technology, USEPA National Exposure Research Lab, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, National Research Council of Canada, AECOM, CH2M-Hill, ICF International, Daikin Global, and more. - M.S. Students: Advisor to 56 students who completed the M.S. degree.
Past M.S. students have either gone on to complete or are currently in Ph.D. programs, or are largely working in consulting and industry.
- Undergraduate Students: Research advisor to 53 undergraduate students.
- High School Teachers: Research advisor to three high school science/STEM teachers who completed a special Master of Education training program at UT Austin.

Faculty Advisor to Student Organizations
- Initiated and served as faculty advisor to the Longhorn Student Chapter of the Air & Waste Management Association (A&WMA) in the 1990s. A legacy of that effort has been a large number of undergraduate and graduate students at UT Austin who have received scholarships from the A&WMA and the Central Texas Chapter of A&WMA.
- Served for three years as faculty advisor to the UT Student Chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World (ESW), a student organization made up of mostly undergraduate students from across the Cockrell School of Engineering.
