From experiencing the impacts of industrial activity in her hometown to developing solutions for cleaner water systems, Citlali Rodriguez is transforming lived experience into purposeful action. 💧⚙️

At UCLA, Citlali found community through SOLES at UCLA, deepening her interest in environmental engineering, and gained hands-on experience through ASCE at UCLA. She is set to graduate in December and will continue her journey in water engineering, driven by a commitment to expanding access to clean water and environmental resources for underserved communities.

Her path reflects the impact of engineering rooted in real community needs. 🌱🌍

UCLA CEE Alum Ksh*tija Shah began her journey in Mumbai by starting an environmental protection club at age nine, driven by a belief that clean water should be a right, not a privilege.

At UCLA 🎓, she advanced this passion through research in biochemistry and environmental engineering, studying microbial systems and PFAS “forever chemicals” to better understand how biology can help improve water treatment. 🔬💧

Today, she’s back in Mumbai applying that expertise in industry—working to turn wastewater into a resource and advance more sustainable, circular systems for water, energy, and materials. ♻️⚡🌊

From early advocacy to UCLA research to real-world impact, her work reflects science in service of communities and the planet. 🌏💙
