Peggy Ferguson is pursuing an MS in Sustainable Systems and an MSE in Mechanical Engineering. She graduated from Quest University Canada in 2021 with a BASc in Applied Environmental Sciences with a concentration on microplastic pollution in aquatic environments. In undergrad, she worked with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science on an accessible way to detect and quantify microplastics. She also worked with the Azimuth Consulting group on a plastic pollution framework commissioned by the Canadian Government (ECCC). Following graduation, Peggy worked for two years at SeaBird Scientific where she specialized in calibrating and measuring performance of oceanographic sensors. Her interests include green infrastructure & design, removal of plastic pollution, and using engineering to mitigate many of the world’s sustainability problems.
