Welcome to my website!

I am an environmental geochemist and engineer. My doctoral and postdoctoral research has employed interdisciplinary approaches across environmental chemistry, geoscience, and materials science to understand fundamental geochemical reactions that affect the fate and transport of heavy metals and radionuclides in natural and engineered aquatic systems.

My current research interests are motivated by the need to protect water and land resources from the increasing pressure of energy extraction, climate change, and population growth. I utilize bench-scale experiments and geochemical modeling, coupled with cutting-edge X-ray and electron beam techniques to examine: (1) microbially-influenced metal reduction and its impact on uranium reactivity, (2) removal of radium from shale-gas produced brines, (3) presence and transformation of toxic Cr(VI) in drinking water systems.

My research and expertise has inspired me to make a broader impact on our society. I am committed to students and education, and motivated by service and outreach. Please feel free to browse the links on the site or contact me for more information.
