About

Professor of Environmental Health Engineering | Science Diplomat | Pioneering Nurse+Engineer & V-shaped Professionalism for Planetary Health Solutions | PhD, PE, CEng, DLAAS, FAEESP, FNAP, FAAN(h). Learn more here: https://www.oerther.org/DanielOerther/.

A pioneer of V-shaped professionalism, I converge engineering rigor, nursing compassion, and diplomatic influence toward a singular vanishing point: planetary health. As a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) and tenured Professor of Environmental Health Engineering, I developed the Nurse+Engineer model to create planetary health solutions. This model champions the profession of nursing, partners with marginalized communities, and leverages humanitarian technology with the shared purpose of caring for human welfare and restoring the health of Earth's environmental systems. At the Missouri University of Science and Technology, and as a courtesy Professor of Nursing at Duquesne University, my expertise is widely recognized, including: planetary health solutions; interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP); science diplomacy; and environmental biotechnology.
