The research goals:

The overarching goals of the research being conducted in my group can be summarized under four major categories:

1) Measuring and modeling the effects of bacteria and other microbes on the speciation, fate, and bioavailability of heavy metals in the subsurface.

2) Determining the environmental behavior of engineered nano-particles in water-rock systems.

3) Quantifying the thermodynamic stabilities and solubilities of uranyl peroxide nanoclusters in aqueous systems.

4) Testing the ability of ionic liquids to extract bitumen from geologic matrices in order to design environmentally-friendly methods of harvesting oil shales and tar sands.
