Project Navigator, Ltd.’s foundation is built on the application of science and engineering to solving environmental engineering challenges. PNL therefore maintains strong ties to academia as a source of ideas and talent. We also give back. PNL’s Dr. Halil Kavak participated as a judge in the University of Southern California’s Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science annual student research symposium, and presented The Project Navigator, Ltd. Environmental Engineering Award for a best presentation in the area of environmental science and engineering.
