RESEARCH AND TEACHING INTEREST:
Environmental Processes and Treatment of contaminated surface water, groundwater, soil and sediment; integration of engineering and science to enhance detection (sensing), characterization, and remediation of pollutants; fate and transport (phase partitioning) of hydrophobic organic compounds (dioxins, PCBs, PAHs, DDT), other tightly bound pollutants (TNT, RDX, HMX), and select inorganic contaminants (Hg, Pb, Cr, and As). Teaches undergraduate and graduate courses: Introduction to Environmental Engineering and Science, Water Chemistry and Treatment, Hazardous Waste Management and Design, and Physicochemical Processes and Treatment of Pollutants.
