About Sierra Smith
As the Director of Research and Development at Perca, I am deeply passionate about creating sustainable wastewater treatment systems through research and collaboration with universities and industry experts. My experiences in both the academic and private sectors have revealed that my true passion lies at the intersection of sustainability and innovation. I have successfully led research laboratories, explored sustainable product development, and driven efforts to introduce innovative products into multi-billion dollar markets. With a strong commitment to freshwater conservation and green remediation, I’ve managed significant research studies and grants to support these initiatives. I believe in the power of science and collaboration to generate impactful, environmentally friendly solutions, and I look forward to connecting with others who share this vision.
