Summary
Matthew Scarborough is an environmental engineer and academic leader with a decade of experience designing and optimizing microbiome-driven water, wastewater, and waste treatment systems. As Associate Professor at the University of Vermont and President of Scarborough Environmental Consulting, he blends hands-on bioprocess modeling, pilot-scale reactor work, and whole-facility optimization to help municipal and industrial clients improve nutrient recovery and biosolids management. His research group pioneers anaerobic bioprocessing, microbiome-based fermentation, and multi-omics approaches to link microbial ecology with practical engineering solutions that advance public health and climate goals. Funded by NSF, USDA, USEPA, and industry partners, he trains students in experimental operations, sequencing-based analytics, and data-driven modeling while practicing evidence-based pedagogy. Based in Burlington, VT, he also applies his academic expertise part-time as a senior environmental engineer, bringing research insights directly into consulting projects.
