Research Interests :
Natural and anthropogenic processes such as biogeochemical cycles, mineral
dissolution, activities related to industry, mining, and nuclear energy
introduce a variety chemical species into the environment. Many processes
involving microorganisms, mineral surfaces, and aqueous complexation
reactions influence the migration of these species through the environment.
To have a better understanding how these processes affect water quality,
contaminant migration, and remediation efforts I combine interdisciplinary
techniques from microbiology, low temperature aqueous geochemistry, physical
chemistry, and thermodynamic modeling to get a quantitative understanding of
the processes affecting the movement of chemical species through the
environment.
