ENVIRONMENTAL BIOGEOCHEMISTRY
The overarching theme for my research interests and expertise lies under the umbrella term of biogeochemistry, most specifically the application of nanoscience, nanotechnology, and microbiology to investigate biogeochemical transformations that influence the distribution of chemical and mineral species. Additionally, I am interested in the relevance of processes at the mineral-water-bacterial interface to water quality and remediation projects.
I am director of the Environmental Biogeochemistry Laboratory and co-director of the Physical Geochemistry Laboratory with Dr. Megan Elwood Madden.
For examples of research facilites and projects, please visit the websites for the laboratories.
