Areas of Interest

Low-temperature and environmental geochemistry

Research

My research interests and expertise lie in the exploration of fundamental low-temperature biogeochemical processes at mineral surfaces influencing the distribution of metals and radionuclides in the environment. Methods include the application of nanoscience, nanotechnology, and microbiology to environmental water chemistry. Additional interests include the relevance of fundamental processes at the mineral-water-bacterial interface to water quality and remediation projects.
