Trina McMahon

Trina McMahon is a professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Bacteriology, at the University of Wisconsin Madison. She studies microbial communities in water, including freshwater lakes and wastewater treatment systems. Most recently she became interested in electromicrobiology through a serendipitous discovery of genes presumably involved in extracellular electron transfer, in the genomes of organisms from humic bog lakes.
